Another Con? E-Mail Porporting To Be From Royal Mail...

[sandyRoe]

Royal Mail has detained your package for some reason (for example, lack of a proper invoice, bill of sale, or other documentation, a possible trademark violation, or if the package requires a formal entry) the RM International Mail Branch holding it will notify you of the reason for detention (in writing) and how you can get it released.

Please fulfil the documents attached.

A bit of pishing here?

Proporting ^

[sandyRoe]

Phishing, not pishing. two typos in one post :-(

Got that - just binned it - after reporting the sender to their provider (assuming it was a real address)

How would the royal mail know your email address?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Yep. I've also have them from Paypal and Amazon.

My suspicions were roused and I smelt a rat. There's nobody would be sending me a parcel.

I think you meant purporting BTW, so you were wrong to start with.
