Think the company that's just conned me maybe one of the same, just reported to Royal Mail as using their registered number (as well as informing police etc)

This is a copy of email to them:

Dear Sir/Madam

I paid £40 in paysafe vouchers to have an item delivered from the courier advised under description, then they tried to con me into paying another£100 to release goods for insurance, wanted to make you aware of their scam as they are stating registered with yourselves:


Rapid Courier Worldwide is a trading name of Royal Mail Group Ltd VAT registration number GB243170002
Tel: 07024072614
('Manager') Mr Tony Morgan

Just want others aware of this scam as wouldn't wish this happening to anyone else.

Regards

xxxx
