Royal Mail customers have been warned over fake ‘something for you’ cards arriving through letterboxes, which are posted through homes when a delivery cannot be made. Action Fraud said consumers can spot the fake cards by the absence of a Royal Mail logo and the inclusion of an 0208 number – which is not registered to Royal Mail – urging customers to rearrange a delivery. After ringing the number the automated message asks for your details and consignment number.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “The Royal Mail security team is looking into this incident as a matter of urgency. Customers should check delivery cards very carefully to ensure they are genuine, and remain vigilant. Although this card is similar to one of our Something For You cards, the Royal Mail logo is crucially missing.
