Toka 10 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 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 £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: http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/crime-prevention/helping-prevent-crime/scams/postal-delivery-scam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Cheers Toka, you've more than likely saved a lot of people a lot of money. Why haven't the Law or Royal Mail already sent letters out to warn against this? Or something come up on the news? B*stards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
