She said: "I clicked on the link, completed details but then it asked for delivery payment and all my bank details.
"I knew then that something wasn’t right."
Melanie did not put in any payment details but was almost conned because she knew she had been around the virus a lot recently.
She added: "I work in a high school and there's been a lot around since we came back after the Christmas break.
"My niece tested positive last week too so I was kind of expecting something. I know a lot don’t report their positive tests now as PCR tests aren’t needed."
