The Trading Standards Office have released the following scam Alert:

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 this 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 ICTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at http://www.icstis.org.uk or your local trading standards office.

This is a genuine scam. 21/10/06

Latest Update...

This scam is also using the telephone service to relieve unsuspecting individuals of £15. Here's how it works. You get an automated telephone call from a computer. The call tells you that a parcel to your address was unable to be delivered and prompts you to press a number on the keypad for more information. Once you follow these instruction your telephone provider will immediately charge the £15 to your phone bill. Be Cautious, make sure everyone in your household/ place of business knows about this scam. 15/12/06
