Is “fedex parcel drugs scam” a scam?
Yes — this is a known, dangerous scam.
Caller pretends to be a courier company saying a package sent from your address contains contraband. They connect you to a fake police officer demanding payment to avoid arrest.
How to tell
- ⚠ Courier companies never call to say your parcel contains illegal items
- ⚠ You are 'transferred' to a person claiming to be a police officer or CBI official
- ⚠ You are told to pay immediately to prevent arrest or to 'clear the parcel'
- ⚠ Caller knows your name or partial address — data obtained from leaked databases
What to do right now
- 1 Hang up — do not engage or confirm personal details
- 2 If you are concerned, contact the courier company through their official website or app — not the number the caller gave
- 3 Do not pay any 'fine' or 'clearance fee'
- 4 Do not share Aadhaar, PAN, bank account details, or OTPs
- 5 If you installed any 'support' or 'server' or 'refund app' or remote-access app at the scammer's request (AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Quick Support, etc.), run free SeraphSecure (https://www.seraphsecure.com) to detect and remove it.
- 6 Report at https://cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930 (national cyber helpline).
Was remote-access software installed?
If a scammer asked you to install AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Quick Support, or any remote-access app, your device may still be compromised.
