From 2024, but funny to read....

What makes this situation so ridiculous is that while we're all watching for scammers attempting to imitate legitimate organisations, FedEx is out there imitating scammers!

You and the "87%" of people who responded to his Tweet or whatever.

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 minutes ago

Yeah, of course. Surprised there are “13%” of people of his Tweet that would not or whatever.

Yeah. Recently I was expecting a message from a bank, finally I got a call... from a chatbot claiming it has an important message for me, but first I have to give it my private info to verify myself and there's no way to validate the call is legit first.

When I complained to the bank they just told me I shouldn't worry, they made the call so it's perfectly safe and there's nothing to worry about...

You keep getting phished by links with bpoint.com.au as the domain claiming to be FedEx?

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 1 points 49 seconds ago

Read the article. All the communications were legit, but they looked more suspicious than actual phishing because FedEx is just that inept. Also, bpoint.com.au is a legit domain used by these services.
