What happened
OnlineThreatAlerts (OTA) published a warning on 22 October 2026 about a FedEx-themed voicemail ('vishing') scam that directs people to the website fedexkqt.com, which OTA calls fraudulent. According to OTA's sample, the recorded message says it is a delivery notification, claims there may be an issue with the delivery address of a package, and tells the recipient to visit fedexkqt.com 'before October 21st' to verify their order or delivery information, otherwise the package will be returned to the sender. OTA says fraudsters in this scheme impersonate FedEx representatives to steal money, personal information or access to financial accounts, and that such calls can lead to requests to install remote-access apps, upload ID photos, or give debit/credit card details to pay a small 'holding fee' or receive a 'refund'. OTA says FedEx does not call, text or email out of the blue demanding payments, passwords or sensitive information for a package in transit. Its advice: do not call back numbers from such voicemails or click links in related texts, and if you are expecting a package, track it by going to FedEx's official website yourself. If you have lost money, contact your bank immediately and report it to local police.
How the scam works
OnlineThreatAlerts says this is a form of voice phishing that relies on a very common situation: many people are waiting for a parcel at any given time, so a message about a 'delivery address issue' sounds plausible. The recorded voice uses a carrier's name and a deadline ('before October 21st') to create urgency, and threatens that the package will be sent back if the recipient doesn't act. The website named in the call, fedexkqt.com, uses the FedEx name plus random letters, a pattern often used so the address looks related to the real company at a glance.
According to OTA, sites and callers in this kind of scheme go on to ask for a small 'redelivery' or 'holding' fee, card details, a photo of an ID document or the installation of a remote-access app, any of which can give criminals money or access to accounts. FedEx is impersonated and is not involved.
