A number of individuals have received an e-mail claiming to have been confirmed by Royal Mail and Trading Standards Institute and featuring a link to the Crimestoppers website [November 2010].
The e-mail describes what to do if you receive a card posted through your front door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) and claims that this is a scam originating from Belize, designed to encourage members of the public to call a premium rate number through which they will be billed £315.
The e-mail states that for more information, see the Crime Stoppers website, followed by a link to the Crimestoppers site.
We can confirm that this e-mail was not issued by Royal Mail, Trading Standards Institute or Crimestoppers.
If you received this or a similar e-mail please do not respond to it.
To report this scam and obtain more information on scams please visit the Consumer Direct website.
