Gemmill 35582 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 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 0306 6611911 (a premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scan 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 02072396655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at:- www.icstis.org.uk or your local trading standards office. This is a genuine scan and is under investigation by ICSTIS. Got this email. Look out kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35582 Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 Sounds quite similar to the answer phone message Cath had the other day from a parcel company claiming they tried to deliver the radio she ordered. The number on that was premium rate too. Arseholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
