I supposedly got a message from FEDEX that said my shipment was postponed and that I should call them to confirm. The problem with that is I don't have anything coming to my house. My wife had the same message on her phone from a completely different phone number, smells like a scammer to me!!!

I received yesterday this supposed message regarding a FedEx delivery.  Problem is that I have nothing ordered!  I ran the tracking number through FedEx and it came back 'invalid'.  DO NOT open the link!  SCAM!

Received a test that said "arranged dispatch time of your shipment 1z86340 got changes!  Make sure to confirm here > 16fxc.info/8NO1oV4ptY".   I call BS.  No scheduled deliveries due from that company.  Poor English syntax.

Malicious Links

These type of texts are designed to get victims to click a link, then through the redirects you wind up installing a malicious script into your Browser. They can be simple Browser hijackers that create popups to keyloggers/trackers that record every keyboard press along with the websites, then sends it to the scammers.
Most times, the "ending" website has nothing to do with the reasoning they sent the link. The "reason" they sent a text was to get you to click the link, which will redirect to multiple websites, each redirecting to the next one. Some ending websites are designed to phish credit card or personal info on click bait sites they get paid from your clicks, while others just go to a News Article or a search engine.

Here is an example from a scam link's redirect path I captured:
