We would like to remind residents to be wary when receiving texts requesting a delivery charge or missed delivery which includes a link. There are various different scam texts and emails of this type in circulation.

For any suspicious emails you receive, please forward to the National Cyber Security Centre: report@phishing.gov.uk
