Heard about the scam on the radio yesterday and lo and behold I received a text message from Royal Mail today which I deleted. They are asking for a payment for delivery charges but really it is an attempt to get your bank details. Apparently these scams are getting more sophisticated and believable, they mimic the bank doing security checks etc, etc.
Beware. |  |

I got a hard copy letter in the post AND the same letter by email from the same organisation on the same day.
You couldn't make it up. |  |

Had similar and thought it was really nice that they thought so highly of me to use different methods to ensure I got their message.
Only to discover they put the same correspondence for the world to see on their website. Disappointed. |  |

Thrice, you, I and many others saw the false mantra "hugely talented" on the same day by three different methods of communication. Thrice the excuse for not telling us about a contract extension and nought as to WHY the contract was awarded on the back of poor results. Thrice, forget about it "line in the sand".
Failed. Thrice not gullible.
More positivity, optimism and realism in Fitzo's news release today. This has to be our future.
Time's up Mr B. Go, go and thrice go. |  | | |

Be wary of Amazon and Halifax scams. I stayed with my mum last year who is elderly & has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The Amazon one is phishing for existing users who are looking to downgrade or cancel their account. I was about to cancel my mother's so started to engage in conversation. However it became clear they were asking for bank details and when I asked them to confirm the Amazon account details they couldn't
The Halifax one is a text where they say they want to confirm a large donation to a charity that you have just made. Of course you haven't so I assume it is an attempt for you to call & they will try to get some details again. We called the real Halifax number instead who confirmed it was a scam
As someone said in this chain absolute scum |  | | |

I got a similar text from “Royal Mail” a while back, claiming I needed to pay for delivery charges. I almost fell for it since it looked so legit, but then I remembered hearing about this scam on the news. They’re getting really good at making these things look real. I always double-check unknown numbers now, just in case. There’s a site called who called me https://whocalled.co.uk that I’ve used a few times—it’s super helpful to see if other people have reported the number as a scam. [Post edited 17 Sep 9:05]
