This is a phishing scam pretending to be from Royal Mail. Here's why you shouldn't click the link:
- Suspicious Sender: "eiger_hurmekoski@fastest-web.de" is not a legitimate Royal Mail email address.
- Urgency and Threat: Phishing scams often create a sense of urgency or threaten negative consequences if you don't act immediately.
- Generic Link: The link "[invalid URL removed]" doesn't look like an official Royal Mail website address.
Here's what you can do:
- Do not click the link.
- Report the scam to Royal Mail. You can report phishing attempts to Royal Mail by forwarding the suspicious text message to reportascam@royalmail.com.
- Delete the text message.
Here are some additional tips to avoid phishing scams:
- Be cautious of unsolicited messages, even if they appear to be from a legitimate company.
- Never click on links within suspicious messages.
- If you're unsure about the legitimacy of a message, contact the company directly using a phone number or website address you know is correct.
- Be wary of messages that pressure you to take immediate action.
By following these tips, you can help protect yourself from falling victim to phishing scams.
