With the latest parcel service scam going on, many people are scared to use the services, but is there any solution? 

Put your worries aside and read this article carefully as here we will give detailed information about the scam and what measures to take when you come across such scams.

New Zealand citizens and many more countries citizens are being bombarded by text messages by the scammers claiming they are the reputed UPS parcel company.

Let’s find out more about the scam!

What is the International Parcel Service Scam?

The scam has been using the many parcel companies names like UPS, an American multinational company specializing in logistics services. The company has issued a warning to all the customers not to fall for this new scam.

Indulging in the scam, the consumers may suffer a loss of money from their bank accounts; hence be alert.

The consumers of parcel services have increased amid the pandemic and lockdown; people from Australia and people worldwide have been using parcel services and ordering online, which has led to the increase of business for most of the parcel companies.

How does International Parcel Service Scam initiate?

The scammers drop a text to random people stating that a pending custom fee is left unpaid, and to receive the parcel; the fee has to be paid.

 With the message, they include a link that redirects the user to a page where necessary credentials must be filled to complete the payment.

Supposedly the user enters the asked credentials; the scammer tries to use your card details to steal your money. There are also chances if the user opens the link there are chances the link can get access to your phone data, including bank details.

How to be more alert about these scams?

After the International Parcel Service Scam, UPS had warned all the consumers not to fall with this scam, and if anyone received such messages, just forward them to the company.

The company has somewhat handled this scam to an extend, but the company can’t control everything; hence, consumers are being alerted.

With the Christmas season just around the corner, there has been a considerable demand for parcel services; there are chances for such scams to happen more. The people have to be smart enough to identify the scams as none of the parcel companies communicate via text for payments.

Conclusion

In our conclusion of the International Parcel Service Scam, we can suggest the readers be aware of such possible scams. Never open links or websites that direct you to some other page. 

The chances of leaking your necessary credentials are very high if any suspicious links are open; always refer to any company’s official website for details.

  1. I believe I am being scammed by this company. It is redirecting me to a website 2ve.me/X6jmr. That asked me for $2.00 custom fees. I am expecting quite a few parcels so my first inclination was to fill in the credit card information. Then I decided for $2.00 it seemed unreal and cancelled it all. I deleted all my information without sending. My package was CA115045086. The tracking number is 160850417CA. These Scammers are even using your logo but changing the UPS to IPS. What a rip off at this time of year (or any time) Please help get rid of them.

  5. I have received a text from International Parcel Service requesting payment of $3.00 for unpaid Customs fees.
    Good to find the scam information here.

  6. Scam for sure.
    I got a text message to track my order. There was a custom fee of 3$. I’m expecting something from the US so the custom fee made sense.
    They ask you if you want delivery or pick-up, then switch from timing the deliveries. The last part they ask for your information and they sell you something…. that what made me think it’s a scam.

  9. Just like the two posts above, I received a text on Feb 10, 2021- saying a package that I had ordered was being held in customs and needed to pay a $2.00 fee. I was expecting a book (that may have originated in the States) so I filled out the info required but when I got to the payment section there was something about it that didn’t seem quite right so I didn’t add my credit card info. After looking up the “IPS” logo I came across this. I’m so glad I listened to my gut and checked into it.

  10. I had the same scam as noted above. I’m also expecting some packages to come in so I took a look, and when I asked to pick up at the “depot”, it said I couldn’t because it was already there. So of course, that raised my suspicions. Then I looked at the order number they provided me and it was just CA1 and then my phone number. Sad.

  11. As previous replies – I was expecting a parcel and with the Brexit changes wasn’t surprised to receive request for £1.60 ‘customs duty’ – fortunately I waited until I could check on my laptop with the company I was expecting to deliver – Definitely still operating in February 2021!

  14. Just got a text, didn’t say from who but I clicked the link and they changed the ups logo to IPS and were asking for $2 because “my package is being held in customs and I need to arrange a delivery” I currently have two packages coming from the US, I googled IPS thinking it was a scam and yep! Good thing I wasn’t going to give them my credit card anyway.

  19. I’ve received two emails and a text, never heard of IPS before so I googled it and it brought me to this page. I’m glad I went with my gut and didn’t just pay. There are so many scams out there, there is a special place in hell for these scum because an actual person with a beating heart would not steal another person’s hard earned money! Don’t let your guard down evil low lifes are out there and if we keep our barriers up we will keep them out of our wallets.

  20. While investing in bitcoins, be cautious. If your bitcoin gets stolen, then it can be a very frustrating time but instead of getting frustrated, it is important to act fast so that you can get your money back. Unluckily, there are many victims that do not get their money back because it is very hard to track down the people behind it. The thief is either in another country or using fake identities. But in some cases, it is easy to track the person who has stolen your bitcoin. Tracing bitcoin is not hard for the bitcoin forensics or specialists.

  22. 209-813-1895 just sent IPS custom fee scam to me…. glad I second guessed myself as didn’t know nor want to give them my payment info as seemed spooky to me that weren’t just collecting upon delivery even if 2$ and expecting packages…. makes me wonder as I know most online services aren’t that secure anyways I’ve learned. Just glad didn’t fall for it, though did click on it and entered my address which thought was weird why again. So hopefully my lack of smarts with doing that doesn’t bite me in ass (cuz can just imagine robbers dressed as delivery drivers walking into apartment building now:( Boo cuz I don’t have much and what I do is from hard work!
    Stat safe y’all. I’m not clicking on anything more and gonna contact virgin as been getting many weird text lately which I just erase not click as clearly scammers, just makes me nervous that my phone is being targeted the last few months since shopping online ok peace

    This is the text i received earlier today, it’s the 4th or 5th text I’ve received from these POS’s! I never give them my info but it is very annoying. Low life scum trying to steal our hard earned money!

  24. Got the same message everyone else got in the reviews, got scared because they mentioned my name!!! I don’t know where they got this information from.

    Reply
  25. Also got one of these texts.

    Number they used was 1-365-651-2305.

    Weblink was imojar.me/

    Google only really brings this page up about this.. with a lot of choicey wording. Any initial look of just “international package service”, even with “scam” in query didn’t work. I forget the winning combo of words.

    This.. should be much easier for people to find. It’s important to watch for scams like these.

  26. I have gotten two one for IPS Wanting $2 for duties
    Then one for a package from bestbuy. I did have a order with Bestbuy.i almost fell for this one but I didn’t understand why they didn’t leave me a not in my mail box
    Like they had before went in they pointed out it didn’t sat bestbuy.ca it only said BestBuy
    Just remember all companies will leave something in your mailbox telling you where to pick up your package

  27. I received the message just moments ago. I figured it was a SCAM from the beginning. I have seen other information on the internet regarding a company with that same name, and they appear to be scammers as well. They don’t deliver parcels or hold your packages ‘hostage’ and demand more money after picking them up.

    Thank you for the information.
