What To Do If You Received This

Do not click on any links in the SMS; they may lead to phishing websites designed to steal your personal information.

Verify the message by contacting Royal Mail directly using their official website or customer service number, rather than replying to the SMS.

Be cautious of any requests for payment, especially if they mention a "redelivery fee," as legitimate companies typically do not charge for missed deliveries.

Check for spelling mistakes or unusual language in the message, as these can be signs that the message is a scam.

If you suspect it's a scam, report the message to Action Fraud and consider blocking the sender on your phone.
