A young student has been left "with nothing" after scammers using a fake Royal Mail email address stole £2,500 from her bank account.

The 21-year-old from Horfield, Bristol, said she was "caught in a moment of weakness" while her account was being maxed-out.

The woman, who does not want to be named, said she received an email claiming to be from Royal Mail on November 13. In the email, she was asked to pay £2 in order for her package to be redelivered, Bristol Live reports.

She paid the money as she thought the email looked "legit" and found no reason to be concerned about it. But when a few days later her mum sent her a news report about a "Royal Mail" scam, she immediately contacted her bank to cancel her card.
