ALERT: PHONY FedEx scammers out there.

[calimary]

I just received a text purportedly from FedEx, with all the proper logos and purple-colored theme and design, promising me my expected delivery in 3 days, for a fee of $19.99.

The link was immediately suspicious.

Just BEWARE.

I called it in to the real FedEx to report it:

1 800 463 3339

1. I did the same with PG&E yesterday

I got a call on my phone that seemed to come from an 800 number that I know belongs to PG&E. They said I was about to be shut off for non-payment. I knew it was bogus, but called another PG&E number to be sure. Then, I reported it to them.

The lady said she'd pass it along to security. The scammers left an 800 number, so I hope it's traceable.

2. I got a spam call

from some recording saying that my Apple account was being terminated. I held on long enough to get some nimwit on the line to insult him because I'd never have an Apple account, so I acted panicky when he answered, and I guess I laid it on too thick, because he disconnected the call before I could cuss his ass out.

I did tell someone selling an auto warranty that my car was wrecked last week in a drunk driving accident, and that I didn't expect to be driving again for years. Maybe that will get me off their lists!

3. Love that one about drunk driving

I got pissed at a scammer who claimed he was from the IRS. I called the number back and got a guy with a thick Indian accent. I told him the IRS and I were just fine with each other, and he was a scammer. I told him he ought to be ashamed of himself and "Does your mother know what you're doing?" Then, I hung up on him before he could hang up on me.

4. Scammers are dive bombing me with texts.

Anything from promising me to have erections, to Oprah claiming I can lose 50 lbs in 5 days. I got the Fed Ex one too. They also claim I have packages to pick up and that I won free Netflix service. I just delete them.

5. Hey, somebody must have told them you had bent-penis syndrome...
