Parcel Pete
Tiny fee. Big trouble.
THREAT TYPE
THREAT LEVEL
Parcel Pete is the kind of outlaw who works the streets, not the vaults. He floods the frontier with “missed delivery” texts, keeping it cheap, quick, and constant. One tiny fee later, your card details are in his saddlebag, and he’s already riding to the next victim.
Delivery scams usually arrive as a text message claiming you missed a parcel or need to pay a small fee to rearrange delivery or clear customs. The link takes you to a convincing fake delivery page where you’re asked to enter card details. The “fee” is bait. The real goal is to steal your card information, which can then be used for fraudulent purchases or sold on to other criminals.

Ranger’s Rules for Riding Safe Online
-Never pay delivery fees from a text link. Go directly to the courier’s official website or app.
-Check the sender carefully. Random mobile numbers and strange email like addresses are a major red flag.
-Be suspicious of tiny fees and urgency timers. Scammers use pressure to stop you thinking.
-If you’re unsure, track using your original order confirmation from the retailer, not the text.
-Use a virtual card or bank alerts where possible so you spot suspicious charges fast.
