CliveH Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 This has done the rounds before but it seems with Xmas on the way it is on the increase. A genuine warning from a source we trust. Postal Scam To Be Aware Of - This is a genuine scam that Royal Mail have been made aware of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 www.icstis.org.uk Please circulate this to avoid anyone else being ripped off.
