Well done Graham.

as someone who runs a courier firm. All my employees leave a card with their own mobile number on, as well as local contact number.

Maybe I'm reading the Action Fraud message differently:

If you receive this email just delete it and do not to forward it to anyone.

What "alert" are you sharing Graham?

"Action Fraud is reminding everyone that a chain email circulating warning about a postal scam that could leave you £315 out of pocket - is a hoax."
