With Christmas coming and parcels being delivered, we bring to your attention a matter that has been confirmed by the 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 the m 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.
