Beware bogus parcel scam

News: Warning over bogus parcel scam
Its been brought to our attention the following….

Mail hoaxer postal scam. Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal Mail as a hoax. 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
