Royal Mail delay

Got a very official looking message from Royal Mail today about £1.74 owing for an undelivered parcel from Saturday but the details they wanted seemed dodgy.as they were the sort of stuff useful for setting up false ID.
I rang the delivery office who immediately said it was a scam popular as the moment as so many people are using deliveries at the moment.
Be wary folks.
How does the scam work if the Royal Mail get the money? Genuinely interested.

Sorry, just realized the message you got wasn't from them! D'oh.

It looked very professional complete with FAQ'S and such, tracking number etc on the first page. Date of birth and other personal details required on the second. I am sure the next page wanted the all important card details for the innocuous small amount.
 
Posted off a dog DNA kit to Denmark on March 08 and it still hasn't arrived at the lab. I paid £65 for the kit, which included a pre-paid return envelope. As I put it into the postbox I did momentarily think 'shall I get proof of postage for this?, nah, spent enough already'. It still hasn't arrived at the lab and there's no way of tracking it. It's probably in a pile somewhere in the central Royal Mail hub, under quarantine, or it has reached Denmark but is now in a pile somewhere...
 
Finally got some important correspondence that was sent to me on 24th November along with a dozen other random letters of varying dates. Joke of a company.
 
Paid seven pounds last week to send cards and gift vouchers by registered mail . Still not arrived at the recipient house .
 
Son in law sent Xmas cards last Tuesday first class still haven’t received them another company going down the pan at a faster rate.
 
I recently ordered 3 cases of strong cider from Amazon (for medicinal purposes of course). 2 cases arrived OK via Amazon but the last 1 was sent Royal Mail. They delivered it the next day to my neighbour (even though I was in) and 1 of the 12 bottles was smashed. Got on to Amazon and they refunded me for all 3 cases. Cheers Royal Mail!

Useless.
My cash card, pin and temp log on details all arrived on the same day 2 weeks after bank posted them out to arrive separately in order to combat fraud apparently…..
Hoarders.
There will be no drink off me for Xmas this year!
 
I received an email from Royal Mail yesterday confirming my parcel had been delivered, they didn't say where though because it certainly wasn't to my address.
I did inform the sorting office, but they haven't bothered to return my call.
