Postal Scam

Received this email from the police via neighbourhood watch co-ordinator so thought I would let you all know on here.

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 £315 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.

For more information, see the Crime Stoppers website: www.crimestoppers-uk.org

This is an old scam Jacky it's been around for a couple of years!

I knew I had seen it before, but as it just came from the Police thought I had better warn people as it could be happening again as it is near Christmas.
