Received the same message as other reviewers. Also both messages arrived after I posted an item for sale on Gumtree. Deleted as clearly a scam.
Also got a text from them but knew it was a scam so didn’t click on the link.
I got a text from AdvCentre saying "Your Royal Mail parcel is awaiting delivery. Please confirm the settlement of 2,99 (GBP) on the following link... royal-mail.to. I too have just used Gumtree for selling stuff. BTW, it's an obvious scan, even asks for your national insurance number!
I've received the same this morning. Possibly related to an advert I placed on gumtree yesterday. I had similar after advertising a car on there a few months back with the registration number showing - the very same day I was deluged with fake motor insurer database calls and 'your car was involved with an accident'. Just scumbags trying to scam you
It is gumtree where they are getting info from. Put some toys on for sale yesterday, got scam text today
I have had this text msg twice about the Royal Mail ADV CENTRE I delete it every time.
