If you have fallen victim to fake texts and emails claiming to be from Royal Mail or other delivery firms, we would like to hear from you
The move to online shopping together with confusion over customs charges after Brexit are providing new opportunities for scammers.
Police, trading standards and delivery firms have all warned Britons of a surge in texts and emails claiming to be from Royal Mail and other couriers asking recipients to click on a link and input personal details so that a parcel can be delivered. Some claim that a redelivery fee is due, while others say that a customs charge has to be paid. Once they have a person’s details, the criminals can use them for fraudulent applications for loans and services.
