From 2024, but funny to read....

What makes this situation so ridiculous is that while we're all watching for scammers attempting to imitate legitimate organisations, FedEx is out there imitating scammers!

Always call back. A legitimate bank will say that its no problem to call them back. Never give any personal details over the phone unless you made the call yourself.

And don't trust the number they give you. Look it up yourself.
