Request an itemCybercriminals lure users into clicking on phishing websites to check tracking updates for their packages by sending fraudulent text messages saying "parcel not received" or "wrong address". This scam is even more prevalent during the holiday season when many of us are waiting for a delivery.
These scams contain links that appear to be from the official courier/package tracking websites and ask you to enter information such as your name, email address, and bank card number. A few days after you have done so, there is a good chance that your bank card will be stolen. Some of the scams will also directly ask you to make an online payment in order for the package to be delivered properly.
The above are common means of SMS fraud. If you have any questions about delivery issues, please check the order details page on Temu's official website or contact Temu customer service. Do not click on any suspicious links sent via SMS.
Here is more detailed information given by couriers that Temu often uses to help you recognise if SMS messages are actually from an official courier.
1. Evri
Evri SMS messages:
Will not show the sender name as a mobile phone number
Will never ask you for payment
Will never include a link except for a tracking link called https://evri.link/...... (Please be aware even if the link does show as https:/evri.link/..... we cannot guarantee this is genuine. If you are unsure do not click a link and do not enter any personal details - see the Fake ''missed parcel'' messages section above.)

2. Royal Mail
In cases where customers need to pay a surcharge for an underpaid item, we would let them know by leaving a grey Fee To Pay card. We would not request payment by email or text.
The only time we would ask customers to make a payment by email or by SMS is in instances where a customs fee is due. In such cases, we would also leave a grey card telling customers that there's a Fee to Pay before we can release the item. This would apply either to an international customs fee or to a surcharge for an underpaid item.

3. USPS
The Postal Service offers free tools to track specific packages, but customers are required to either register online, or initiate a text message, and provide a tracking number. USPS does not charge for these services! USPS will not send customers text messages or e-mails without a customer first requesting the service with a tracking number, and it will NOT contain a link. So, if you did not initiate the tracking request for a specific package directly from USPS and it contains a link: don't click the link!

4. UPS
Slow Down - Scammers rely on urgency to create panic. Be cautious of anything that implies you must act immediately. Take the time to review the message, then review it again.
Don't Click - Check the Link - Legitimate UPS links will start with ''https://www.ups.com'', ''https://billing.ups.com'', ''https://go.ups.com'' or ''http:/links4.upsemail.com''.
Check the Details - Are there spelling or grammar errors? Generic greetings, like ''Sir or Madame?'' Fraudsters will frequently use small typos to trick you into clicking on the link.
Report It - Report it to the https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/?orgcode=UPS.
Delete and Block It - So you don't accidentally interact with it later.
If It Seems Too Good To Be True, It Probably Is - Scammers may sell fake labels at deep discounts.
