It is their customs department. If you got this call then you have a parcel due for GST and custom duty.

Caller: FedEx impersonation scam

This is a known scam that skims FedEx receiver data from their system. If you have a package coming from Fedex, they will use the legitimate tracking number. However, the emails they text you are FAKE. The support number is not on the FedEx website, the support email(s) are also not on the FedEx website.

Your package will be arriving regardless if you pay this person or not. Why? Because customs payments are on the SENDER, not the RECEIVER! You have no reason to pay import fees, supplier's invoice or anything else, all of that is already priced in when you pay for postage. If there was a problem with customs, the package goes back to the sender, where they send it again, or give you a refund. If you still have doubts, use the support page from the official FedEx website, not some random fishy text message.

People in this thread claiming that this number is legit are either:

A - people who paid a scammer for a package they were already receiving

B - actual scammers trying to prey on your doubt.

Scams exist because they work! If you are genuinely concerned about a missed payment, go to the actual website. Do NOT respond, do NOT engage. This marks your phone number and email as active to scammers so they can try again. You can see this happen, if you wait a day or two without responding you will get a call from a regular phone number( (03) 7019 5541 in my case) that will mention the website your purchased from. Why would FedEx use regular mobile phone numbers on follow up calls? Trust your brain, don't get stressed, block, report as spam and ignore.

Not a scam. Actual Fedex package, just run through Bpoint.com for some reason (Fedex outsourcing). I can't believe how many comments are saying it's scam... how many of these people are still wondering why their package never arrived?? 😅

Legit. Called the customer service number on fedex’s website 132610. Got on to a customer service rep who assured me that that payment was required. Since the OP they’ve changed their method of billing to bpoint which he confirmed was correct.

I was suspicious of the SMS received from FedEx Express, not sure why they don’t use another method for customs charges. I called the number advised, a lovely lady with an accent answered and asked my tracking number, it was listed on the text, so I obliged. I was then greeted by name and a detailed description of the package was provided on the phone. I explained the process felt a little bit like a scam and was asked for my email address to provide proof of invoice, I again obliged.
Once receiving the email, the customs charges were well described but the email layout was not what you’d expect from a company like FedEx. I proceeded to payment via BPoint (also not what you’d expect). Paid the charges and received a receipt via email.
Still feeling unsure, I decided later that night to research the phone number, email, and text description. Reading posts like these left me feeling very unsure if I was scammed or not, also the fact that my personal data was recently hacked via my telco didn’t put me at ease.
To my relief, the package arrived the very next day.
My advice, if suspicious of a payment request – locate a genuine number via the company’s website and confirm the details before paying. I wasn’t scammed but the uneasy feeling until delivery was not pleasant.
Duty + GST = $1,400.00

Just got the same message tried to ring and was out of hours. It is outrageous that a company as big as FEDEX can not use a legitimately looking payment process in place.

Had the same suspicious SMS message from Fedex about duties and taxes including a link to pay on www.paydollar.com.
Called the customer service number on the official Fedex AU site rather than the one in the SMS and confirmed that the message was real.
Their customer service was great; I got straight onto a human and got a breakdown of the taxes very quickly. The whole call was less than 5mins.

Not a scam, this is FEDEX
I received SMS and email asking for payment for border tax. I was expecting a parcel, but I thought it was a scam as the sender was a persons name@FedEX
I went to the Fedex website to see if there were any current scams and was informed that if there was a legit request it would come from "tracking updates", so I deleted the messages. Today I had a phone call from a private number from someone claiming to be FedEx, again, I still thought it was a scam, so I hung up. I received another email today, containing way more information and appeared to be legit, so I have since called FedEx customer service and spoke to them and they informed me the correspondance was them and explained it is for GST and customs fee. They were very understanding by the way I felt it to be a scam but reassured me that this was not.

FedEx shipment AWB#[removed number] requires your payment of duty and taxes before delivery can be arranged. Please refer to use link to pay now.

The above was texted to me and I was very suspicious of the link and information, even though I was expecting a package and I had recently realised that the products ordered online (after conversion to USD) were worth more than $1000AUD, which means they are subject to duty and taxes. I ended up calling Fedex by finding their number on their website and they confirmed my parcel was being held until the fees were paid. I asked if I could pay them by another means than using links already provided and they assisted me and provided a receipt. I am now waiting to see if the goods clear customs and will be delivered. I agree with others here that the communication from Fedex, if the initial messages via email and text were legimate, that they provided little information about where the messages came from, why I was receiving them, and did seem like a message a scammer might send. They may need to work on that aspect of their customer service.

Sophisticated scam. Bought online from Australian website, low value item, $70. Item dispatched via Fedex from Hong Kong. Next day all of a sudden started receiving missed phonecalls. Rung very briefly. Then text from "Fedex-Exp". Delivery fee/Importation fee scam.
