Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scammers are sending the Post Office Depot 38 scam text below with a link to the phishing website: post-office-depot-38.com. The phishing website purports to be the UK Post Office and claims a package needs to be redelivered. It then requests a fee of £1.45 for the re-delivery and requests your credit card details and security code. But, if the requested information is sent, it will be used fraudulently.
"Your parcel is waiting for delivery, please confirm the settlement of £1.45 on the following link post-office-depot-38.com"
If you have been tricked by the Post Office Depot 38 scam text and have submitted your credit card information, please contact your bank for help.

I almost fell for this, as the website looks so similar to the actual post office website. I entered in quite a few details such as my address and my contact details, now I am terrified of what may happen. Someone give me reassurance that everything will me okay, please!
We had the same sort of message about delivery not being made as we were not in. However we had been expecting a delivery and had a genuine message to expect the delivery, that came from a similar number. When the delivery did arrive I actually said to the driver sorry we missed you earlier, he didn’t say he had attempted to deliver earlier. So this could be more involved and elaborate scam, or a coincidence?
I got exactly the same. I clicked the link as I was expecting a delivery but didnt put any details in. Anyone rekon ill get done over
I got one, Simon attempted to deliver today, scam 447763360702
Same, I entered my email, phone number, address, postcode and full name to the stupid thing. Absolutely terrified.
Just had one the same 07763 398981. 10.20 21/5/22
Had one today claiming Simon had tried to deliver a parcel. I'm expecting one, so nearly fell for it! Number was: 07835 242806
I also had the same message - very convincing as our postman is actually called Simon.
I’ve had one today and like you am expecting a parcel but had a different number 07845098583
Same here! The same name, script, the lot! I immediately deleted it and went online to check. Wasn't expecting anything anyway!
I got one of these too. Phone number 07599 620272 sent it.
What I do the next time?
