Royal Mail text scam - 8 arrests!

If they have the right guys - great. Send them down for 10 years each the scumbags

I hope so.
I forward every text to 7726 and every email to phishing gov site in the hope that some of these scum get their just deserts
Hate them with a passion

Could easily have been a victim, was expecting a delivery from Royal Mail the day I got a text from them, fortunately I knew the scam was going round but can see how someone vulnerable could easily have been taken in.

I've had 3 of them over the last month. I didn't fall for them and 'probably' never will. It was helped as I didn't have anything on order.

It doesn't mean others don't. Throw the book at them

Same here, but unfortunately fell for it.
They took 4 £200 payments in the hour before I spotted it.
Bank reimbursed but it still rankles that I was taken in.
Before this I thought I was not gullible.

Happens to a lot of us. I nearly fell for an investment scam - just managed to avoid pressing the button to transfer £10k!
