"I received a txt from this number stating that I had missed a delivery and it needed to be rescheduled. On my phone it directed me to a website that asked for my name and address and birth date to verify it was my parcel and then asked for credit card details to charge me 79p for redelivery, at which I ended the call. At home, I checked the website - https://evr.30251e46.com - and my web security immediately identified it as a fraudulent phishing site. Subsequently I have already received two further phishing calls trying to get bank account information from me."
