POLICE around the country are warning of a delivery scam in the run up to Christmas.

A police spokesman said: “Please do not click on any links attached as this is a scam.”
“If you believe you have been a victim of online fraud, you can report it to the National Cyber Security Centre at report@phishing.gov.uk”
