Then ten minutes queuing for the @PostOffice to tell me they don’t accept this “Free international postal return label valid in… GB” FFS. I’m just trying to return a toner cartridge for recycling. Sighpic.twitter.com/bgJNNCXP5f5f

Great. Local Post Office closed for lunch. Because nobody would carry a parcel a quarter mile up a hill to post it in their lunch hour, of course. FFS.

WhichUK ⚠️Watch out for this TV licence scam that typically tells you your licence has expired or your payment method has failed.

It then directs you to input your personal info into a fake phishing website.

@ChrisWall Just got the same one, I reckon; the licence number was just made up. A scammer that’s at least smart enough to realise that someone at a “.uk” email address will probably have a licence, I suppose…

Hrm. “Dear consumer”, writes the alleged TV Licensing people to me, telling me that my licence couldn’t be renewed and pointing to a website hosted in a random AWS S3 bucket…
