888-535-7661

Quote:

I received two phone calls from someone purporting to be calling on behalf of FedEx regarding an undelivered package. The voicemail said FedEx attempted to deliver a package to me but "could not locate the address." They asked me to call back and provide a reference number so that they could re-attempt delivery. I am not expecting a FedEx package nor have I ever had issues with a delivery company not being able to find my address, so I found the call suspicious. The six-digit "reference number" provided does not return any results on FedEx's website.

Called from 888-535-7661 claiming FedEx couldn’t deliver a package that was supposed to be delivered today (so they have FedEx shipping and tracking information). They said my name(spelling) and my address. I asked how to check on the status and they gave me a fed ex number. As I pulled in to driveway, the package was already delivered and I didn’t confirm any information they were asking for.

I received call from 1-888 # so i declined it. They called right back so i sent to voicemail. Message stated "Hello, we're calling on behalf of FedEx. We attempted to deliver a package today for (my first name but spelled wrong) again. However, our driver was unable to locate the address. Please call us by 10PM local time so we can reattempt delivery on the next business day. Call us at 888-535-7661 and provide reference # 560437. (repeated last sentence). Thank you and have a great day." I called it back and there was auto message stating it Thank you for calling FedEx and to press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish. Selected 1 & very legit sounding auto message basically state to wait for next available rep. Waited only a few seconds then lady w/ heavy middle eastern/Indian accent answered. She asked me to confirm my name & quickly pulled up info stating an address in state but no where near my city. I gave the correct address only once and said it fast (normally have to repeat myself on these calls) and she stated all corrected and it will be delivered. I am expecting a couple of packages but usually they aren't shipped through FedEx. I didn't think about this till after the fact which is why i searched the reference # on FedEx and it didn't pull up. So i searched the # they called from and found another person had same experience. They didn't ask for any money and considering they have my phone # that is all you need to search details on internet and find my address so very confused about what they are planning but still concerned enough to want to share. Will update if any further activity occures.

Left voicemail saying FedEx package was unable to be delivered due to incorrect address. I confirmed the address and they said it would be delivered the next day, I asked how they would deliver it since it was the same address they claimed was "incorrect" and I asked that a note be put on the delivery and was told they "could not do that." I was expecting a delivery, so I wasn't completely suspicious but when they could not articulate how it would be rectified, I knew something was up and Googled the phone number, which brought me here.

Received a call from this number. I knew it was a scam once the caller asked for me by my 1st marriage name. I've been divorced over 15 years! Get a life!

Middle Eastern man using an actual middle eastern man's name from FedEx. Parul is the name. I called 800-463-3339 to verify the scam call and coincidentally enough another man named Parul answered the phone. He was helpful and friendly and we couldnt get very far because I did not have the tracking information. What's concerning about this entire thing starts from the beginning. I received a call from the 888-535-7661 number telling me that FedEx could not deliver a package. The man gave me the sender, whom IS one of my customers. He gave me my WORK address, which is where I was expecting the package to be delivered. He gave me the package contents, even. The problem is my client did not give me the tracking number yet, so I could not verify. He would not give me the tracking number, saying it was for security purposes. He would not give me his employee ID, for security purposes. I verified the address, but doubled back when I called him back the next day (today). I said the zip code was wrong. When you call that number, it gives you a FedEx prompt, asking to stay on the line, etc. He answers, saying it's a recorded call, his name is Parul, and he saw that I spoke to someone to verify the address previously. But it was him. I spoke to HIM. And he just kept playing it off like it was another associate. I did not give him any other personal information but I did confront him about how he got my personal phone number from a work account. He gave me vague answers and kept repeating "for security purposes, I can't give you this information" and I asked for his supervisor. He gave me FedEx's actual number. That's when I called and the REAL Parul answered. I believe this man is fishing for information. This is my first scam call, so I have to say he did a good job, but I'm frustrated.
