These three screenshots show a three‑step UPS phishing campaign designed to harvest personal information, create a new account credential, and steal full credit card details under the guise of a small “verification” fee.


Threat Analysis: UPS Phishing – Personal Info, Account Creation & Card Harvesting

This scam impersonates UPS (United Parcel Service) . The victim is told that a package is waiting and they must update their shipping information to receive it. The campaign is structured in three steps:

Step 1 – Personal & Password Page (First Screenshot)
The victim is asked to provide:

  • Full name, address, city, ZIP code
  • Phone number, email address
  • A new password (and confirmation)

This page captures personal identity information and creates a new credential that the attacker can use later.

Step 2 – Fake Processing Page (Second Screenshot)
A waiting screen claims the request is being processed. This creates a sense of legitimacy and buys time while the attacker prepares the next step.

Step 3 – Card Verification Page (Third Screenshot)
The victim is told to “verify” their credit card with a small fee (VAT 0.99) to complete the delivery. The page asks for:

  • Cardholder name
  • Full card number
  • Expiration date
  • CVV

The goal:
The attacker collects:

  • Personal information (name, address, phone, email)
  • A new password (likely for a fake account they create)
  • Complete card details (number, expiry, CVV) for fraud

With this data, they can make unauthorized purchases, clone the card, or sell the information.

Red flags to watch for:

  • Suspicious URL: The pages are hosted on a domain that is not ups.com. Always check the address bar.
  • Request for a password: UPS does not require you to create a new password just to update shipping information.
  • Request for card details to “verify” a package: A legitimate courier never asks for your credit card CVV to release a package.
  • Fake processing page: Real shipping updates do not include artificial loading screens.
  • Outdated copyright (1994‑2021): The footer date is inconsistent with a 2022 campaign.

What to do if you encounter this:

  • Do not enter any personal information, passwords, or card details.
  • If you are expecting a UPS delivery, track it directly by typing ups.com into your browser and using your tracking number.
  • If you have already entered card details, contact your bank immediately to block the card.

Protective measures:

  • Never click links in unsolicited delivery messages. Always go directly to the official courier website.
  • Never pay a “small fee” via a link to receive a package. Legitimate couriers handle fees through their official site or upon delivery.
  • Use a password manager – it will not autofill on fake domains.
