Royal Mail has warned people about fake text and email scams currently doing the rounds.
Scam texts and emails are being sent targeting people’s bank accounts.
The messages ask customers to give up their personal and bank information by telling them they’ll otherwise fail to have their parcel delivered.
One of the scams is circulating by text and email, which tell people to make payments to make sure their parcels can get delivered.
It links to a fake Royal Mail website to trick people into giving their details.
