  • Postal Scam!!

    It has been confirmed by Royal mail.
    The trading standards office are making people aware of this 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 it is a mail scam originating in 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 receive a card with these details ring the royal mail fraud line on 020 7239 6655
