Had this in an email from my sister so am passing it onto you ladies esp. those of you who use Ebay/shop online and may be expecting parcels in the run up to Xmas.
Can you circulate this around especially as Christmas 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 £15 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 0207-239-6655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at www.icstis.org.uk
