Short answer
What to do right now
Do not tap the unexpected link. Open the retailer or carrier app you already use, or type its known website yourself, and check the actual order or tracking record there.
Immediate actions
Check the shipment in a separate account or app.
Do not tap the link, open an attachment, scan a code, or reply.
Open the retailer or carrier account you already use, separately from the message.
Check your real order history and tracking record.
If you do not recognize an order, do not create an account or payment route just because the message tells you to.
Do not
Avoid making the situation harder.
- Do not pay a small redelivery or address-correction fee through the message.
- Do not treat the sender name, logo, or tracking-style number as proof.
Records and reporting
Keep the details you already have.
Keep the sender, date, message text, and a screenshot if you report it; do not reopen or share the live link.
