THE Royal Mail has issued a serious Scam Warning regarding parcels supposedly sent and classified as containing dangerous goods, which appears to be written by and sent from, the Royal Mail Dangerous Goods Customer Service team.

In which it is stated: 'You recently posted a parcel identified as containing dangerous goods".

The parcel has been opened and disposed of and yourselves issued with a

£1000.00 Disposal Penalty Shipment fine. Failure to pay the fine within

28 days will result in an escalation of the penalty charge and court action to follow.

If you are not sure about any item you wish to post, they advise you to call Customer Services on 03457 740 740".

Do not comply or, be alarmed it is a Scam using the Royal Mail Logo. Please do NOT open their email, respond to texts, or contact the quoted telephone number or, the address.

Whilst it all may look authentic especially as the Royal Mail logo is prominent.

Please be aware it is a Scam and ignore it.
