Royal Mail / Courier Scam
In case you missed this on our social media feeds or in recent news, please beware scam e-mails and texts that request payment to rearrange delivery of an undelivered parcel or item of mail. The message appears to be from Royal Mail or a recognised courier company and the victim is asked to provide card details for payment of a small fee, typically £1.99, to receive the fictitious undelivered item.
Remember you will never be asked to pay a redelivery fee by Royal Mail or other legitimate couriers. And just because a company logo is used doesn’t guarantee authenticity of the communication. Never input your bank or card information after following a link on any e-mail or text that claims to be from Royal Mail or another courier, because it will result in your card details being stolen by criminals.
