Fedex

Yes it is Fedex billing dept

Yes, this is FedEx, following up on a shipment for us.

It’s a FedEx phone number. Probably legit.

So you don't know it's legit? And apparently you've never heard of phone number spoofing. Just because this is (supposedly) a FedEx phone number doesn't mean scammers aren't spoofing the number to try and rip people off.

Well if you Google this number, the search results would have displayed this as a Fedex number, so no one would have gotten to the point of needing to click this site to find out. 800notes didn't even make the first page in my search results. Besides, the first 3 posts in this thread ALREADY stated it !
With that in mind, I have to ask why you went the extra step to come and make a post about it, saying its "probably" legit?
Anyone else would have known it was a Fedex number and if they had no reason for Fedex to be calling, they would continue on here to see what others say at that point. Who are you trying to convince its a legitimate number?

Keep in mind, just because a number is be legit, doesn't mean the caller is!

Scammers spoof legitimate numbers to trick people into a false sense of security to answer their calls and attempt to get money or personal information from you.
This is why no one will encourage others to report of legitimate numbers, as they only confuse people into believing it is a legit call when a scammer has called them and they come here to find out about the call.

People who get legitimate calls would know its legitimate and have no reason to come looking up the number.
800notes is about exposing scammers, shady businesses and harassing type calls from debt collections, surveys, political and telemarketers or anyone who scams, lies or cons people.
People come to share those experiences to help each other understand who is bothering them and share what information they can to help point a finger at those criminals. The data is useful in knowing the frequency of the calls and even allow someone enough info to research towards getting a company's background history towards legal action.

The idea is to stop criminal callers, but posting about legitimate calls will not help anyone stop them. Sure people want to know who called and it could have been a legitimate call, but it only takes one post with confirmation of who the legitimate owner is to establish if its a call you can decide was legitimate for you. The fact that scammers can spoof ANY number is enough to say that even legitimate numbers have scammers who call pretending to be legitimate, so you just don't really know who is calling.

Shills will come here to post about the number being "legit" and try convincing people to answer the call so they can scam you.  So why help the criminals by posting about your call being legitimate? It has no impact on a legitimate business, only the shady ones and thats what we want to expose. Your legitimate post will only add confusion for others who read posts by those who shill about using the numbers they spoof.
