    There are CNAM databases that hold the owner of a number. They can be queried for caller ID identification. Access is available to anyone for a fee.

    Some scams won't talk to anyone except the person listed on that line.

    I’ve received emails in that format frm “UPS” and “FedEx”. As long as you don’t click on the link you’ll be fine. Block the number and check your junk email folder for similar scams and block the sender if you received any

    I like living on the edge. Unfortunately the link no longer works or it's really pointing somewhere else. Tried https as well

    That's a fake 404 page. Meanwhile, the trojan payload has infiltrated your phone.

    I got a "UPS Store..." email this morning along the same lines. Purportedly originated in an outlook.com account; forwarded to UPS. Bastards!
