Scamming - Fraud
I received the "Royal Mail" text scam below from 07458047050. The text scam contains a link that goes to the fake Royal Mail website. The fake website is currently being used by online scammers to steal personal and financial information from potential victims. Therefore, recipients of the text scam are asked not to follow the instructions in it, they should share below in a comment and then delete it.

Yes, It's happening now. 14/3/21. Always check the number of any text which may ask you to enter payment details. They want your card number and security code so they can rob you.
