Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
I received the fake Royal Mail text message today from 447984644332. The fake text is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick recipients into clicking on the link in it. The link goes to a fake or phishing Royal Mail website that steals personal and credit card information. Therefore, recipients are asked not to follow the instructions in it.

Just fell for this. Text came from 44 7485 768937. Text read: PostOffice: Your parcel has been redirected to your local Post Office branch due to an unpaid shipping fee. To pay now, visit: postoffice.deliverydueuk.com/Website didn’t work so I’m hoping some Good Samaritan has found it and taken it down and that I don’t have malware installed now.
Various numbers being used. I've had 07485 489695 and 07484 307593 today.
