If it does not have our logo on it or the name of the delivery office where your package is being held, bin it.

I was just going to come and post the same thing, thought of compers as soon as I read this.

Beware if Royal Mail logo is Missing & it's an 0208 Tel Nbr

Individuals will be billed £45 if they ring the phone number on the fake cards.:eek:

Possibly a bit of exaggeration, 0208 is not a premium rate number so cannot just charge £45 (unless you were on the phone for hours)

Action Fraud say

"Whilst we have not received any reports at present, missed delivery cards have been around for a while and come in different formats."

and link to an article from 2 years ago where people were being asked to pay £10 to get their package.
