Scam?

[SkySmiler]

I get quite a lot of parcels but never had a message like this....

It is the type of thing I would ignore.

Scam.

My DH has had several messages like that. It is a scam.

Scam.

Obvious scam.

Yes definitely a scam. Look at the hyperlink. It practically announces itself as such.

I dont mean click the hyperlink by the way.

Of course it's a scam.

Yes it’s a scam. I had one for DPD the other week.

The link is generally enough to tell you it’s dodgy, but the wording is also suspect - confirm the settlement of - what? Why would Royal Mail be confirming it’s GBP? Of course it is - we’re in Britain!
There are loads going about at the moment. Never click a link in a random text.

Yep scam. I'd expect any genuine text to come from an alpha tag, not a random mobile number.

If Royal Mail need financial settlement it’s usually customs - DH had it where he sent off for a “free” watch and he had to pay for customs but it was a card he had to attach stamps to in order to cover the costs, then take it to the Post Office. They would never text. How would they even get your phone number? Delete the message and ignore.

I googled the number

As I thought, thanks all
