I'm waiting for a parcel from Happy Puzzle Company and this morning I got a text from ''Royal Mail'' saying my parcel had been sent to the distribution centre but they can't deliver it because of an ''insufficient address''.

Then, on the end of the text it said '' I hope you have a lovely day!''

I can't imagine RM sending that type of personal message so reported it as scam!

Often they ask you to pay extra postage and then you know it is a scam !

The "parcel" scams have been going around for ages. I had another one yesterday. Just deleted it.
