Back to Delivery Address Confirmation Scam

This is a version of Delivery Address Confirmation Scam.

You have (1) package waiting for delivery email scam

Email claims a “suspended” package is waiting for delivery and urges you to click “TRACK PACKAGE,” schedule delivery, or subscribe to calendar notifications. It uses a random sender address and a generic greeting to make it look official. The goal is to get you to click through to a fake site to steal information or load unwanted notifications. Red flags include the strange sender domain, vague wording, and a “click here to unsubscribe” link that may also be malicious.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. Subject line says “You have (1) package waiting for delivery” and mentions a “suspended” package

  2. Sender uses a random-looking email at qxwiiikyo.au, not a real shipping company

  3. Generic greeting “Dear [Recipient]” instead of your real name

  4. Pushes you to click “TRACK PACKAGE” and subscribe to calendar notifications

  5. Includes a tracking code to look legitimate

  6. Contains a “click here to unsubscribe” link that may be unsafe

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: You receive a text saying a USPS parcel is on hold and needs your ZIP code or address confirmed within 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The message includes a link that looks official at a glance but isn’t the real usps.com (for example, usps.com-something.vip).

  3. 3

    Step 3: The fake site asks for your name, address, and often a small “redelivery fee,” pushing you to enter your credit card.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Once you submit details, scammers can charge your card, steal your identity, or send more scam messages.

✓ Do this

  • Go to the official USPS website by typing usps.com yourself or use the USPS app to check tracking.
  • Look up any tracking number on usps.com before doing anything.
  • Delete the text and report it to spam@uspis.gov or forward to 7726 (SPAM) if your carrier supports it.
  • Call your bank immediately if you entered card details on a suspicious site.

✗ Avoid this

  • Don’t click links in unexpected delivery texts, even if they say USPS or U.S. Customs.
  • Don’t enter your address, Social Security number, or payment info on sites you reached from a text.
  • Don’t reply to the text (even with STOP or Y) — it confirms your number is active.
