posting YOUR tracking number on a BBS

[sattec]

Has anybody here ever redirected a shipment while it's in transit? I have, the first thing you need is the tracking number. It may cause you some delay or even loss of your package if you post your tracking number on a public BBS....just a tip I learned the hard way, I got my package, finally, but it was touch and go for a few days, all because some weirdo tried to hijack my package. This event occurred not long ago too with fedx.
....vape for life!

The tracking number for any package with any service posted to an open forum is an invitation to reroute that package. There are groups out there that place orders via the internet with stolen credit cards using the billing address as the ship to, using their email addys. When the perp is notified of the tracking number, they simply contact the shipper and request a reroute. Done all the time by credit card thieves.
