I got a fake Royal Mail Missed Delivery text message from telephone number 07501972301 that claims there was a missed parcel delivery for me. If you click the link in the fake text(do not), you will be taken to a fake website that will ask you for payment after failing to deliver the missed parcel. It asks for bank details and personal information. I contacted Royal Mail and a representative said it is a scam and they would never ask for banking or personal information.
