Hi

I have been made aware of the following Postal scam


PLEASE READ - VERY IMPORTANT


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

i';ve seen people posting about this on FB, not sure if its true though
I've had that one too, it did the rounds last year as well. Still best to be aware if it is true
I've seen something like this mentioned on one of the watchdog type programmes.
five years old - it was a scam and it was closed down; it hasn't happened since

This was reported on the local news a few nights ago and was said to be a hoax.
I posted about this on Monday - felt like I was 'told off' for doing so.
quite right, naughty sherrardk, you are needlessly upsetting elderly ABers!
