I got an email this morning from Royal Mail about a failed attempt to deliver a parcel. It wanted me to pay £1.11 for redelivery!

I've forwarded it to Action Fraud

It’s a scam, we get it all the time here. Especially if you order something online. Also fake ‘fines’ ,several times a month. They make me sick, I’d jail the lot of them.

Agree nanna8 except the jails are currently full allegedly!

I just had a "PayPal notification" that I'd just bought McAfee software totalling £336.
😂

It came from an unpronounceable email.
I forwarded it as a scam.

I’m not sure if this is helpful to anyone, but I’ve been using this website to check the unknown phone numbers that call me. I read that if you’re over 55 you’re more likely to be targeted by scammers. Please take care. Whosringing.co.uk

Thanks for this, I will start using it too.

i just enter the number into a search engine, usually google, and the history comes up.
