The caller with the number +611800111112 is likely associated with FedEx customs clearance, requiring payment for duties and taxes on international shipments. However, the ** legitimacy** of the calls and messages is disputed, with some individuals confirming the authenticity of the communications with FedEx, while others believe it to be a scam. The conflicting comments and experiences suggest that the caller's identity and purpose may be unclear, and it is essential to verify the information through official FedEx channels to avoid potential fraud. The use of Bpoint for payment processing and the request for personal and financial information via SMS or email have raised concerns among some recipients.
