Mail Scam

[Devilfish]

I got this in an email...I had a quick search on Yahoo and it seems to be genuine.

Better to be safe than sorry!

MAIL SCAM​

The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:

A card is posted through your home front 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 (020) 7239 6655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at www.icstis.org.uk or your local trading standards office.

This is a genuine scam and is under investigation by ICSTIS.
Please notify your friends and family of this scam.
