Mystery FedEx Package Arriving Today

Earlier this week I got a text from FedEx that "my package" will arrive Friday. I quote "my package" because I haven't ordered anything. I'm not expecting anything.

My first thought was it's a phishing attempt. The text message has a link to click for info. Classic phishing ploy— tell someone they've got an unexpected package and get them to click through a bogus link to a malware site. Except it's a legit fedex.com link. Oddly, though, the FedEx page doesn't indicate the sender, just that it's being sent from El Cajon, California. I don't know anybody in El Cajon. I haven't done business with anybody in El Cajon... aside from staying at a hotel there a couple times, most recently over a year ago.

Just now I got an update text. My package is out for delivery today! Good news, right? Except, no, because I still don't know whom it's from or what it is. Maybe it's a coffin.

UpdateIt's not a coffin. Or a bomb.
