Royal Mail Scam Alert

You might like to alert people to scam text (or may also be phone call) requesting payment for delivery of a parcel by Royal Mail – inferring that it hasn't the correct postage on it.

Having checked with Royal mail website, they say they will never request this by phone. If a supplementary fee is required, you would receive a grey card with details of how much and how to pay.
If you're receive such a text or phone call, just delete it or definitely don't reply.
