Add another one to the list: 07340 428022. By a terrible coincidence (or is it...?), I was expecting a parcel, but was on holiday. The person housesitting for me sent me the legit Royal Mail "Sorry we missed you" card the day before I got the text message through. I didn't pay close enough attention to the url, and gave all my details, though I now can't remember what details I gave so I am on hold with my bank who will presumably have to block ALL of my cards. Grrrrrrrrr!

Received the scam parcelforce gb text …phone number at top of text is*447387831533

With a bit of luck one of the scumbag scammers, sending out these messages will find out that one of their family has got tricked by another scumbag…and are suffering the consequences.

Just received one of these too while waiting on my Royal Mail number.

Are my details compromised if I just click on the link?

No, you would have to submit it on the phishing website that you were taken to.

Disturbing that I had a Royal mail delivery 2 days ago, confirmed by email, then this text. So are they reading my emails?
