Our driver Simon... shipment...etc from number 447746269155 came up as a text message on my mobile, which is rarely switched on, and certainly not known by the post office. I couldn't have "tapped link" as my phone is a normal one, not smart.I would never give bank details over the internet anyway. I don't trust anything like online banking because of this sort of thing, I only use cash or pre-paid credit card!Take care and stay safe!

I had this text sent to me on Tuesday 17th January 2023. It's slightly concerning in view of the fact I am waiting on a couple of deliveries, so I understand how easy it would be to click on the link ( I didn't do so as this is not the first text I have received like this ). The number I received this text from was 44 7759 601212. Please Beware Everyone
