Seems to be a lot of scam messages about at the moment. I've had a fake Evri text asking for a redelivery fee, and a parking fine one with a link to pay. And Cillafan had the TV licence email earlier.

I've also heard of people getting calls from "the bank" asking them to move money to a safe account. Banks never ask that.

I tend to just ignore anything rushing me to pay and ring the company myself if I'm unsure.

Anyone else had any recently?

Nope, not online or on my mobile.

Nothing. But I always report, block and delete any calls and emails I get I suspect are scams.

We have a lot at the moment, we think it’s the Manchester Airport Group data breach.
