Postal Scam:

[emarald]

Dear All May have been posted

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 09066611911 (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

£315 for a phone call?? sounds like crap to me, just like most things that start with 'send this to as many people as possible.....'

unfortunatley mate as far as i am aware you can get a premium rate number for nearly any value within reason . You used to be able to buy stuff by listening to a prerecorded message on a premium rate number.

£300+ a minute though is very steep i think you would have to justify the use of such a number.
