**Fake Package Delivery Scam Campaign Report**
This scam campaign involves a coordinated fake package delivery scheme operating through two connected phone numbers: 949-688-6032 and 626-640-5877. The operation has generated 4 FTC complaints specifically categorized under debt reduction services, though community reports reveal the true nature of this fraud involves impersonating legitimate delivery companies to extract personal information from consumers.
The two phone numbers are connected through co-reporting relationships with a confidence level of 0.35, indicating they have been reported together by multiple victims as part of the same fraudulent operation. Based on FTC complaint data, 949-688-6032 has targeted consumers across multiple states, with documented activity in Cocoa, Florida, San Bernardino, California, and Charlotte, North Carolina. This geographic spread suggests a nationwide targeting approach rather than regional focus.
Community reports provide detailed insight into the scam's methodology. The fraudsters operating under the name "GoFo" call victims from 626-640-5877, claiming they need address confirmation before delivering a package. They then instruct victims to call the second number, 949-688-6032, for verification purposes. This two-step approach appears designed to create legitimacy while harvesting personal information. One victim report specifically mentions purchases from online retailers including Helloice and LightInTheBox, suggesting scammers may be targeting consumers who have made recent online purchases.
To protect yourself from this type of fraud, never provide personal information to unsolicited callers claiming to be delivery companies. Legitimate delivery services do not typically call requesting address confirmation and have established tracking systems through their official websites and apps. If you receive such calls, hang up immediately and contact the purported delivery company directly using official contact information from their website. Do not click any links in related text messages or emails. Report suspicious calls to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or file complaints with the FCC. Before engaging with any suspicious phone number, verify its legitimacy by searching online complaint databases and reverse phone lookup services.
This campaign represents a moderate threat level with documented multi-state activity and an evolving methodology that combines voice calls with potential follow-up contact. Consumers should remain vigilant for similar delivery confirmation scams, particularly during high-volume shipping periods. The coordinated use of multiple phone numbers indicates a sophisticated operation that may expand its infrastructure over time.
