Royal Mail scam e-mail / E-bost scam y Post Brenhinol.


⚠️ Scam emails claiming to be from the Royal Mail have recently been reported to Action Fraud over 5,000 times, so keep an eye out for them.

 

The e-mails claim that the recipient has missed a delivery and that a parcel is waiting for them. The links in the emails lead to fake but genuine-looking Royal Mail websites that are designed to steal personal and financial information.

 

Despite these type of scam e-mails being quite common and most people being aware of the ‘parcel waiting’ scam, they are still catching people out. Please take your time to read and consider any e-mails like this carefully and never click on unverified links. 

 

Please also take a few minutes to make sure that your family, friends and neighbours are aware of this type of scam and that they know what to look out for and what to do if they receive such a message. 

 

✅ If you can please report suspicious emails by forwarding them to: report@phishing.gov.uk

 

ℹ️ Your reports have led to the removal of 337,672 scam websites as of June 2024.
