Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The Royal Mail "Parcel is waiting for delivery" text message below from telephone number 07483881576 is a scam. The link in the fake text goes to a fake Royal Mail website that will ask you for payment. 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.

I received this text yesterday. Never had one before. Had ordered through eBay 2 days before, hopefully a coincidence
