Check a suspicious delivery text
Verify the delivery independently.
Start with your order
Check the order in the store or carrier app you already use. Avoid opening a link in an unexpected message to resolve a fee or address problem.
Look for pressure
A short deadline, small unexpected fee or request for card details can be a warning sign. A familiar logo or company name does not establish who sent a message.
Use CheckIt
Paste a redacted message into CheckIt to see warning signs. Even without a threat-list match, independently verify the delivery before giving information.
