Pending-parcel email report: 134679665AR and related references

On 20 June 2022, a reader in Argentina reported an email in a personal Hotmail account claiming that a parcel was awaiting validation. The original article records the apparent sender as donotreply@fineartamerica.com.

This is an archive of the site's report and subsequent reader updates, not a current tracking service. A displayed email address does not prove who sent the message. The original article explicitly says it was unknown whether an account had been compromised or its address imitated.

The reported payment request

The message used the name Correo Argentino, reference 134679665AR and a charge written as “400 (Peso)”. In context, the report concerns Argentina, but that wording did not itself specify a currency code. It asked the recipient to confirm payment through a “Confirm here” link.

The reader said they had not ordered from the displayed domain, were not expecting such a delivery and could not find the reference in Correo Argentino's system. These are the reader's reported checks, not a tracking lookup performed for this translation. They did not click the payment link.

Verify a delivery through an independent route

Correo Argentino's security guidance advises against clicking suspicious messages or sharing information and directs users to its official site to verify a shipment. Do not pay solely because an unexpected email mentions a parcel.

A related archive covers reference 134679665CL. If you describe another message in the comments, omit private delivery details and do not publish its active payment link.

Hoy recibí este correo, la verdad me dí cuenta enseguida que se trataba de un correo falso ya que no estoy comprando nada al exterior. Pero bueno, si hubiera sido el caso, el error de ortografía, al menos me habría hecho pensar o investigar su veracidad.

Hola Cristian.
Que bueno que notaste que es falso.
Saludos

Argentina, recibí hoy el mismo correo. Casi caigo porque estoy esperando unos productos del exterior. No había mirado con atención que era una supuesta compra a Finesart. Cuando vi esto, supe que era falso. Y buscando datos llegué hasta aquí

Recibí exactamente el mismo correo y me surgió la misma duda, por lo que busqué por el número de referencia en la página oficial de Correo Argentino y no me apareció ningún paquete por ese número. Así mismo, tampoco había realizado ninguna compra a Fine Art America, por lo que me pareció aún más un intento de phishing
