More than 1,700 users received fraudulent text messages! Royal Mail urgently warns: Be careful of account information leakage

A scam is sweeping the UK and the Royal Mail has issued an urgent warning.

The Royal Mail has warned that scammers have been trying to trick users into providing personal information by sending fake Royal Mail messages . The Royal Mail has discovered that more than 1,700 users have received the fraudulent emails .

It is reported that the email will say that the package has not been delivered and warn users that if they do not choose to deliver the package, it will be returned to the sender . It then directs customers to a link asking them to fill out an information form . The form will ask users to fill in their card number , security code , classification code , account number and name , etc.

The email will accurately provide the package number and explain that your package will not be redelivered without personal information , which makes many users believe it.

ActionFraud tweeted : "Beware of these FAKE Royal Mail emails , they have been reported over 1,700 times . The Royal Mail has also issued a warning to users:

Royal Mail will never send an email asking for credit card numbers or other personal or confidential information ;

Royal Mail will never ask customers to enter information on a page that is not part of the Royal Mail website ;

Royal Mail will never include attachments unless the customer has solicited that email , for example the customer has contacted Royal Mail with a query or has signed up for updates from Royal Mail.

It is reported that in addition to refuting the scam, the Royal Mail also recently issued an announcement on shipping rate adjustments.

Royal Mail has announced adjustments to shipping rates from April 2021. In addition to price increases for many domestic products , air carrier subsidy prices have also increased in many countries.

The parcel services within the UK that have seen changes in shipping rates include: Royal Mail Express Mail, Express Returns, Royal Mail Signed For Mail® , Royal Mail 24® and Royal Mail 48® barcoded letters, non-barcoded letters, as well as barcoded and non-barcoded parcels, Royal Mail Advertising Mail® parcels , Royal Mail Published Mail® parcels , Royal Mail Tracked Returns® , etc.

At the same time, due to the impact of the decline in global air capacity, the subsidy prices for air carriers in some countries and other parts of the world have also changed.
