This is going the rounds - just in case beware!!
Postal Scam
Can you circulate this around
especially as Xmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal
Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the
following scam:
A card is posted through your door
from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were
unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a
premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam
originating from Belize.
If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will
already have been billed £15 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these
details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 02072396655 or ICSTIS (the
premium rate service regulator) at
