Scam link or not ? Parcel depot

Link sends me to post office. Yes I clicked the link 😬 but it want me to pay a re delivery fee. Says that they're not leaving cards if your parcel cannot be delivered and I am waiting for something. Hmmm should I just try the collection office or is not a thing anymore ? I haven't been since covid times.

Always consider how the courier got hold of your phone number/email address

You may have given that information to the vendor as part of your purchase but the courier shouldn't have that info - it's a scam!!!

I clicked it already and did enter my name and address, but then it wanted my date of birth and I thought hmmmm this is very sus.... so not good really. It's so easy to be caught out it seems 😬

The link sent you to a site that looks like the Post Office, but it will not be the PO. Also, the PO do not deliver mail, Royal Mail do.

@LizDoingTheCanCan
Ahhhhh so they have my name and address now. Great i'm an idiot. I get very confused on Royal Mail but I did pick up a missed parcel at the postoffice the other day but that was from DPD.
