There is currently a scam doing the rounds where one gets a text out of the blue saying "your Royal Mail parcel is awaiting delivery. Please confirm the settlement of 1.99 (GBP) on the following link". The link then takes you to a fraudulent site which takes payment and other details.
Royal Mail has confirmed that it never asks for excess payment by text or e-mail.
Everyone should be alert to this and similar scams. I myself got one of these texts this morning, and I'd hate to think that anyone would fall for it because they were expecting a delivery from us.
