Is This A Scam? Please Don’t Open Link

[Bobbisox1]

I ask this because I actually sent a parcel to a London address as they were going to Lanzarote this week and our friend needed something from Amazon anc asked if I could get it and they’d take it across, it wasn’t valuable and I chose to pay first class option and paid £3-95 after PO assistant weighed it

//Your parceI has been redirected to the IocaI Post Office branch due to an unpaid shipping fee. PIease visit postoffice.branch-rebooking.com to pay and rebook.///

Bobbi, why do you think that it is a scam?

[barry1010]

Scam. The post office uses a .co.uk address

[TheChair]

Yes it's a scam. That domain is registered to a company in Reykjavik.

[Bobbisox1]

Because of its content Danny, the parcel I sent was legitimately weighed at my PO and I paid the outage on it so shy would they say I’d underpaid?

Ah! thanks Barry,

How would the post office know your phone number or email address?

[THECORBYLOON]

How would the Post Office know your mobile number?

How did a scammer know that you were posting a parcel or was it just a coincidence?

[Bobbisox1]

I think more a coincidence Elliemay1

@The Chair - 1348.

How do you find out where a domain is registered?

[Bobbisox1]

That’s true TCL , it comes hot on the heels though of me wanting to locate said parcel which was posted on the 22/09

[barry1010]

Jackdaw, you use a website like this one
https://who.is/

[pastafreak]

The message also seems to imply that it's a parcel being sent *to* you, and you need to pay a fee to receive it.

[barry1010]

In any case it is the recipient that has to pay any postage shortfall or customs, duty etc - not the sender

[Bobbisox1]

Pasta at first I thought it might be the ‘missing’ parcel that I’m now trying to locate , you can’t claim till after 10 working days and it was posted on the 22/9

Thank you, Barry.
