I recently received a rather suspicious message from someone pretending to be Royal Mail, attempting to extract £1.99 for a supposed delivery.

I just received a dodgy email from this number, masquerading as Royal Mail. Definitely a scam!

Just a heads up, folks! I’ve come across a dodgy text claiming to be from Royal Mail, asking for £1.99 to settle a balance for a parcel. Don’t be fooled—it's a scam! Keep your wits about you and steer clear of any shady links they may send.
