Case Studies

Royal Mail scam

by Mark Rowe

Royal Mail has been been alerted to an email incorrectly claiming to be from Royal Mail and stating Lost/Missing package and claiming we are holding an item for the customer. It asks the individual to fill in documentation. However, the attachment contains a malicious virus and we are encouraging people not to open it.

Royal Mail says that it abhors any activity which seeks to use our name to defraud individuals and treats such incidents extremely seriously. When made aware of fraudulent activity, Royal Mail’s security team has robust procedures in place to take the necessary steps to protect our customers.
