Totally agree
My son (adult) had been awaiting delivery of cd's which were a Christmas
present for his mum. They never arrived so he sent an email to them. He
then got a text from Royal Mail saying his parcel was in the warehouse
and to click on the link to pay additional postage of £2 odd. He
automatically assumed this was the parcel he was waiting for.
Fortunately he told me (after he'd done it) to let me know that RM had
charged him the extra amount but the cd's were on their way. I said RM
don't send texts asking you to pay and knew it was a scam straight away.
He said but I've been on the RM website Dad. Er, no you haven't, it's
a spoof website. Did a whois on the website and it had only been
registered the day before! Again fortunately, no money had been taken
from the bank account so he cancelled the card (which he was able to do
from his banking app (a pleasant surprise as it is a High Street Bank)
and request a new one.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he was expecting the parcel he would
have realised straight away himself. I dread to think what would have
happened if he hadn't told me, as there is a high 3 figure sum in there.
