Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are sending the Post Office-Depot scam text messages below with links to fake and phishing websites. The phishing websites purport to be the UK Post Office and claim a package or parcel failed to deliver and needs to be redelivered. It then requests a fee for the re-delivery and requests credit card details and security code. But, if the requested information is sent, it will be used fraudulently by the scammers.

"Your parcel is waiting for delivery, please confirm the settlement of £1.45 on the following link post-office-depot-38.com"
