Just Before Christmas A Very Convincing Scam

From a local resident I received a text message today stating that the Post Office had tried to deliver a parcel to me at 16.36 but that I was out (which I was not) and including a link to a website where I could arrange redelivery.
The Post Office doesn’t send messages like this, it is the Royal Mail that does so and when I copied the number and input it on the track and trace section of the Royal Mail website the number isn’t recognised which it would do if the parcel was already in their system and had been out for delivery.
The decider for me is the request for £1.99 whereas the Royal Mail does not charge for redelivery.
