Warnings have been raised around a new scam which makes use of convincing - but fake - 'missed delivery' cards.

 

The cards look very much like the ‘something for you’ cards you typically receive from Royal Mail when you have missed a delivery.

 

They use the same colour scheme, headings and four-box layout. Indeed, the  only clear difference is that the scammers’ cards do not have the Royal Mail logo on them.

 

 

They are then put through to an automated message where they are asked to leave their details and a ‘consignment number’. Victims have claimed that calling the number - which isn’t registered to Royal Mail - has cost them £45.

 

So if you do receive a missed delivery card, make sure that you look for the Royal Mail logo and be especially wary if you are not expecting a delivery.

 

If you think that you may have fallen foul of this or any other fraud. You should call Action Fraud to report it and also seek advice
