Beware of Parcel Delivery Scams

Fraudsters often exploit busy shopping periods by sending fake text messages and emails claiming there is an issue with a parcel delivery.

These messages may request a small payment or ask you to click a link and provide personal information.

Protect yourself by:

Checking delivery information directly through the retailer or courier.

Avoiding links in unexpected messages.

Never providing banking details unless you are certain the request is genuine.

Deleting suspicious messages and reporting them where appropriate.

Always stop, think and verify before taking action.
