POSTAL SCAM

Post by johnnyp »

Postal Scam
Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas 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 02072396655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at www.icstis.org.uk >

Scam

Post by mailjock »

This scam and variations of it have been running for 2/3 years - they leaflet different areas of the country on a rolling basis - also use name variations similat to Parcelforce. Seems well organised - if RM find out who they are they'll probably sign them up to do D2D contracts lol.
