BBB Warns of Holiday Delivery Scams

This phone number to line up with delivery what's actually sometimes convinces consumers that they missed some type of delivery even if they know they have an ordered something because with the pandemic of course people might be ordering yes and sending it to the to the recipient rather than giving it to them themselves.

We've actually had reports of- fires man left on doors pretending to be with one of the major carriers one of the major shipping carriers fed ex- you know ups dhl.

Saying that we missed your call this number so that we can get some information from you and set up a redelivery.

And we've had reports of those fires being left those notices being left.

That are not legitimate better made up and created by scammers.

Open that you call and give them some information.

But we would just be you know be very leery of the number that you're calling maybe confirm online.

Or through an email or something that that's the actual number to be calling.

And when you call them if they're asking for payment information over the phone well he need any of that closely guarded personal identifiable information.

That's definitely a red flag because those questions will never be asked.

To have.

And of course more people ordering things online with with the current state of affairs so.

Just keep track of the packages that you have ordered i don't.

Think that that's something that's highly valuable maybe insurance on it or even require signature.

Because of course these.
