Waiting on something being delivered...got a message supposedly from correos but no official heading or my name, saying there was a problem with delivery as a street no had been left off, asking us to go to an http"// blah blah site? Haven't done anything ....anyone else had this.

Definitely a scam. How would Correos know your email if they don't even have an address?

We had one a few days ago and were also waiting for something to be delivered. I said definitely a scam but hubby went to correos to double check and the woman on the desk said it was genuine. I still said definitely a scam so we left it. Our delivery turned up that day.

Correos are increasingly sending texts to advise of tracked deliveries, in fact I got one today myself. No name BTW.
Very often you have to give your phone number when buying online so nothing necessarily sinister about getting a text.
If you are expecting something then the tracking number should be in the text and the link will begin https://correos.es/
I use http://www.aftership.com to track packages.
No harm in a bit of healthy scepticism but not believing Correos staff telling you a text message is bordering on paranoia!
