(CNN) It's an exhilarating feeling we can all relate to -- FedEx notifying you that your package has been delivered. But before you mindlessly click on that text message that looks like it's from FedEx, take a second look because it could be a scam. Some people around the country are receiving text messages that show a supposed tracking code and link to "set delivery preferences." After answering a couple questions, the scam then asks for personal information and a credit card number to claim a free gift. The Duxbury Police Department in Massachusetts warned of the scam on Twitter, writing, "When in doubt about a tracking number go to the main website of the shipping company and search the tracking number yourself."
