Christmas shoppers are being warned about a scam targeting people receiving parcels from DPD or Royal Mail.
Bank RBS have warned their customers about the scam after many people ordered their Christmas presents online this year.
Customers have had money taken from their accounts after falling for the scam.
The bank explained how the scam works in a warning to customers.
They said: "Fraud warning - fake parcels from DPD parcel delivery!
"Customers are reporting money being stolen from their accounts after they've responded to fake emails from parcel delivery companies like DPD.
"Criminals are sending messages pretending to be from parcel delivery companies like DPD or Royal Mail.
"The aim is to get you to click the link and give away your phone number and bank details. You will then receive a call from the criminals pretending to be from your bank's fraud team, trying to persuade you to move your money to a 'safe account' or give away your card reader codes.
"Many variations of this scam exist from bogus claims of unpaid TV licence or vehicle tax to fake HMRC rebates or free supermarket shopping vouchers.
"We are working hard to keep you safe from fraud. If you think you may have given away your details to a scammer please contact us immediately, we can help."

Last week Hertfordshire Police warned people about a similar scam, where people were encouraged to give their details to "rearrange delivery".
Detective Inspector Rob Buns, from Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Serious Fraud and Cyber Unit, said: “This scam is very convincing with Christmas a few weeks away and many people are shopping online and waiting for their orders to be delivered.
“It’s important to check the details in the messages and make sure it is genuinely related to an item you have ordered. Does the message use your name, rather than to an email address? Does it mention the goods or company you have ordered items from? If in doubt do not click the link and contact the vendor directly via their website.
“Please help us to raise awareness by talking about this with your friends and family, especially if they are vulnerable or elderly.”
