Beginner rule: Use AI as a helper for drafts, checklists, and explanations. Do not treat it as a final authority for money, health, legal, or safety decisions.
Short answer
Small package fees are a common scam hook. Verify delivery messages in the official carrier app or website.
Why this matters
A small fee feels harmless, but the real goal may be card theft or personal information theft.
Step-by-step
Do not tap the link in the message. Go to the carrier website yourself and enter the tracking number if you have one.
Try this prompt
“Check this delivery message for red flags. Explain what I should verify without clicking the link.”
Common beginner mistake
Do not let urgency decide for you. A message can sound official and still be fake.
Safety note
Never share passwords, verification codes, bank details, or private documents because of one message or call.
What to do next
Use the 10-second scam check before clicking, replying, paying, or sharing.
