Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scammers are sending the Local Depot 41 scam text below with a link to the phishing website local-depot41.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.
