Local Depot 25 Scam UK Post Office Text - local-depot25.com

Scammers are sending the Local Depot 25 scam text below with a link to the phishing website local-depot25.com. The phishing website purports to be the UK Post Office and claims there was an attempt to deliver a parcel but no one was in. It then requests a fee 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.
