The delivery firm is warning customers of a suspicious text that is trying to trick shoppers
Royal Mail is warning customers of a Christmas text scam that could empty your bank account.
A suspicious text is being sent telling people that they have a parcel ready to be collected and asks the receiver to click on a link.
But after doing so they are taken to a website with a Currys/PC World heading, which claims they have won an iPhone 11 Pro and it will be delivered soon - but only if they hand over their personal details and pay a fee.
This is a screenshot of the test message:
The message reads: "There is an item waiting to be collected. You took one of the spots on our Currys' XMAS-List.
"Your iPhone 11 Pro will be delivered within five working days.
"Please confirm your delivery address and pay a small fee (£2.00) for insured shipping."
Royal Mail is aware of the scam and has warned customers not to click any links in the text message or email.
