On Saturday I was walking home when I received a text claiming to be from the Royal Mail, saying that I needed to pay a £2.99 additional fee for a package to be delivered. It was my birthday the following day and I knew a few packages would be on their way. I’ve previously had to pay additional fees for packages so this didn’t seem out of the ordinary.
