From: Royal Mail royalmail@email.com
To: [E-mail address redacted]
Subject: Confirm your Parcel
Notes: The sender email address: royalmail@email.com is not an official Royal mail email address but one provided by the free email provider Mail.com.
The click through website is claimed to be royalmail.com/confirm-package, a plausible royal mail webpage however mousing over the hyperlink shows that the hyperlink links to the address https://5ndynote8.jeance.com/setter/lawless, a website address that bears no resemblance to being a genuine royal mail address but a faked website to steal your personal banking details.
In fact if you attempt to access the website my browser blocks access with a warning page as below:
