An accented woman, possibly Eastern European, asserted she was from Royal Mail regarding a package stuck in London that required redirection. She requested my assistance and wanted to email me to retrieve the item. Clearly deceptive.

Expert Opinion
Oddly enough, dozens of callers are masquerading as Royal Mail to demand a tiny postage fee. The pattern across reports shows a consistent script: reference a missing stamp, a low‑value payment of around £1.50, and a request for personal or bank details via a link or over the phone. Payment requests for such amounts are a classic red flag, as legitimate postal services never ask for card information on unsolicited calls. Treat any request for personal details with suspicion, verify the number on the official Royal Mail website, and never click unknown links. Remember, caller ID spoofing can make a scam look authentic, so hang up and call back using a known, official number.

Complete scam.
A scammer, posing as a Royal Mail representative, contacted me claiming to have a package stuck in the London depot. They attempted to persuade me to click on a link, which led to a convincing replica of the Royal Mail website, albeit with some suspicious discrepancies. The site requested my email address, but I did not comply.

A caller, purporting to be from Royal Mail, contacted me, claiming that I needed to pay £1.50 for redelivery of a package due to a missing stamp. They directed me to a website that resembled the Royal Mail site, but with some notable discrepancies, such as a grey globe icon instead of the Royal Mail logo. The caller was persistent in their request for payment by card, but I refused and reported the incident to Royal Mail.
Warning: this is a scam, they called twice, and when I called back from another number, they kept the line open for 5 minutes, resulting in a premium charge.

A woman claiming to represent Royal Mail contacted me, stating I needed to pay £1.50 to retrieve a parcel held in London due to a stamp issue. She offered payment options but provided no address. Since I’m not expecting anything, I told her I’d collect it myself and ended the call.

Beware of a Royal Mail scam. Paying the £1.50 for postage is unnecessary as Royal Mail does not operate this way. They could have access to your banking information, so it's best to avoid it!
I've just recieved the same call, it's strange because it was suppost to be a Royal Mail number
