      We were unable to deliver your package... Reschedule your delivery date.

      Your package is out for delivery ID[16R]
      FedEx: Shipment Tracking n#[n_8]

      Definitely a phishing Email. We have nothing on order and Fedex do not deliver here.

        Getting a bit fed up with winning pillow cases from Premier Inns. Not a place we have ever visited.
        Watch out for this scam email purporting to be Premier Inn. Email says take survey and claim 2 piece pillow set. Don't respond this is a scam.

        For anyone using Android and getting unsolicited calls (despite being registered with the TPS) I'd heartily recommend Google's own calling app, it's great at detecting scams and it's great to have your phone not even ring with just random voicemails left from the call centres with just the background noise as without anyone picking up they just give up after a minute. Also by highlighting numbers and blocking them helps everyone else as they're added to their list.
