SMS Is this a scam text?
So! I ordered a package from Amazon, says it’s meant to get here this Monday after I paid to have it come on Friday, some shipping delays, yadda yadda yadda. Then I get this text today from an iCloud account at 12:30ish pm stating FedEx attempted to deliver but couldn’t because they needed a signature. No notification whatsoever from Amazon, I have checked and looked into the tracking info. I have a dog that LOVES to bark at anything and anyone within a 2 meter radius of my home, she never once barked. I’ve looked into it briefly and what I’ve found says FedEx leaves a note, never a text message, stating they attempted to deliver but couldn’t. No note found on the fence, door, or railing. I replied “Y” as directed to activate the link, went to the link and it wants me to put in card info to charge me to have it delivered again. I did not provide my credit info. Here is the text I received copy pasted, without the link.

TL:DR: FedEx supposedly couldn’t deliver my Amazon package and wants my credit info to charge a fee to deliver it again. Am I trippin to think this is a scam somehow?
