Beware Royal Mail phishing text scam


One of our residents received this text message on 10 October 2021 supposedly from 'Royal Mail' seeking an unpaid shipping fee. 

The Post Office wouldn't usually have a phone number for you, so how did they send it?????

DO NOT CLICK on the link. This is an image for posting here to show the fake address.

Needless to say please be aware of such phishing scams or report to report@phishing.gov.uk. Do not click on links or attachments in unexpected or suspicious texts or emails.

You can also report the scam to Action Fraud, the national fraud reporting centre.

For more information visit the authentic Royal Mail help centre.
