Postal Scam

Post by r055 » Sat Oct 28, 2006 11:22 pm

Pass on to friends and neighbours to warn them......

Can you circulate this around especially as Christmas 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 0306 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:-

http://www.icstis.org.uk

or your local trading standards office. This is a genuine scam and
is under investigation by ICSTIS.
