I wanted to provide you an update regarding Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used), which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.
Dear Regent Park Residents,
With Christmas approaching, many of us are expecting parcels-but scammers know this too. Fraudulent delivery texts can catch
anyone off guard, especially if you're not aware of the signs.
These messages often claim a parcel is delayed or needs a small fee to be delivered. They include a link to a fake website designed to steal your personal or banking details.
Stay alert:
• ❌ Don't click on suspicious links
• 💳 Never enter payment or personal information via text
• 📩 Forward scam texts to 7726 (Free number) to report
• 🧑🤝🧑 Check in with neighbours, friends, or family-especially those who may be more vulnerable.
Report scams online:
• 📮www.actionfraud.police.uk - to report fraud or cybercrime
• 🛡️www.ncsc.gov.uk - for cyber security advice and phishing email reporting
This type of scam can happen to anyone. A little awareness goes a long way in keeping our community safe.
Below there are a few examples of scam Delivery texts that you may receive from various delivery companies during the festive holidays.
