Fake Ecom Express messages and links
Fake Ecom Express texts about failed deliveries, changed OTPs, reverse pickup fees and delivery-partner jobs. See the lines and check.
Ecom Express is an Indian logistics company that has carried parcels for online shopping sites and delivered them to customers' doors. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Ecom Express in SMS, WhatsApp and email messages. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake Ecom Express messages
- Ecom Express is unable to deliver, share your address within 2 hours
- Your order OTP has changed, tap to receive the new one
- Reverse pickup scheduled, pay a service charge to confirm
- Ecom delivery partner needed, pay for a uniform and ID card
How to verify it yourself
The shop you bought from, whether Amazon, Flipkart or another site, keeps the real delivery and return status in its own app, so check there. Ecom Express tracking is also available on its website, typed by hand, with the shipment number. Delivery partners are hired by the company, with no uniform or ID fees collected on a call. An OTP is to be told only when the parcel is in your hands.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.
