I too have had an email saying my address was incomplete and therefore they could not deliver my package....
Who can we report this to, I've just replied in good old Anglo Saxon but I don’t think they understood, the conniving thieving load of b******s
just received a similar your parcel couldn't be delivered due to an incomplete address. the email purports to be from Royal Mail. it coincides with a delivery I'm waiting for from AldI luckily I also had the aldI email so checked there delivery is via Hermes. so its a scam confirmed by this website
Just had a similar email from royal group LTD saying incomplete address on my parcel and click the link to give my address details, beware these are a scam.
I rescheduled the delivery paying £3 using my bank details, as I thought my wife had ordered something. Checking up I found the email address was a p**n site and that Royal Group was a hotel company in Thailand. I now have the task of warning my bank and changing all my security details - no easy task !!
I’ve just received this scam email from Royal Group.I knew it was a scam because it went to an old unused email address and I’m not waiting for a parcel.
I clicked on the link before seeing these posts. It took me to a blank page seemingly belonging to ‘Essencepottery’. I didn’t go any further.
Same here! although I was expecting a parcel, but I already received it weeks before and thought maybe BT hasn’t delivered anything. However, I already had a redirect email with royal mail. so royal mail should be aware I already moved home. also, the parcel or tracking only has numbers and usually has letters. Checked the email address and it looks like a scam email. so checked here and boom! scam!
Thanks for confirming that the one I received is a scam. It is always worth double-checking, especially if you are expecting a delivery, like me.Shame more can't be done to trace and prosecute the scum who do this.
I got a slightly different one that I can't find any referral to online. The subject line was 'Royal Group - Digital parcel' followed by some numbers. (On checking the sender's email address it came up as being from a telex.be address) Here is a copy of the email I've received:"We are waiting your reschedule action.Image of royal mail uk logoShipment no: 932979848246087If this item is unclaimed by the return date, then it will be returned to sender.We tried to deliver your parcel today but you weren't in or there was no safe place to leave it.We require additional details to attempt re-delivery of this parcel, as the address provided appears to be incomplete.Please provide the complete information for this address to attempt redelivery.Currently, your parcel is being stored in our local depot.Reschedule delivery package" ("Your parcel will be delivered on selected date.On the morning of your delivery, you'll receive a 1 hour delivery slot to this email address.We are making some changes to the way our drivers deliver parcels to offer 'contact-free delivery' right to everyone's doorsteps.On arrival your driver will knock or ring the bell and step away to a safe distance. The driver will record your name and take a photo of the premises to confirm delivery"They are very clever by using the royal mail spiel about Covid etc,that is in royal mail emails. Furthermore underneath was a 'Service Update', 'General Overview' all about deliveries, delays due to Covid affecting some branches etc etc. Again, all seemingly copied and pasted from a genuine royal mail email. Hope this helps anyone else that's received this. Be safe everyone, online as well as in health!
Just received the exact same email. Confused as I am expecting a delivery today of a parcel that has been delayed, but then I remembered a PSNI warning about a scam like this issued a few days ago. Just as well I checked first and found this site.
Literally just received the same email but checked on here before opening it. Thanks
Thanks, I've received one of these, thought it was a scam and this has confirmed it.
Obvious scam, Belgium email address, the scammers must think the general public are idiots. Look forward to these criminals getting a good kicking from our vigilantes!

Sadly my dad didn't realise and give all his details on his account with 5,000 pounds 😭
I received an email yesterday from Royal Group saying they had tried to deliver, but I was not in and to click on the link. I knew straight away that it was a scam because I live in Spain.
I clicked the link but didn’t go any further such as giving my details. What will happen to me now?
Nothing, since you didn't submit your information on the fake website you were taken to.
I received this email last week and thought straight away it was a scam. But I have received it again today 15/02/2021. So thought I would double check online to make sure it was a scam
Likewise, received a message from Royal Group today 15/02/21 stating that they tried to deliver but no-one was in with no secure place to leave the parcel.I wasn't expecting a parcel and knew it was a scam straight away.
I have just received the message from royal group, saying they couldn’t deliver the parcel today, and to fill in the details, as I haven’t been out today, and no one has knocked on my door, it must be a scam, I wish more could be done to stop these people.

Received the email today, was suspicious that they never mentioned my address. Then checked here to see my suspicion was correct
Received an email today as above. I have parcels outstanding so I clicked and started filling in but they were asking for information beyond delivery details so I bombed out. On checking google I found that it was a scam.
Received an email yesterday from this company asking me to reschedule a delivery that had not been made? I have some parcels outstanding but googled to check and it appears it is a scam. Good job I didn’t click on the link
