Please pass this on, it might save you some money,

For your information

If you receive a card through your door from a company call PDS (Parcel

Delivery Service) saying that they have a parcel awaiting delivery

instructions and can you contact them on 0906 6611911

DO NOT call the 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 ICTIS at www.icstis.org.uk

or your local trading standards office.

This is a genuine scam.

ICSTIS have the following information about this number.

This is a card posted through your letter box from PDS Parcel Delivery

suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and to call the

premium

rate number in question. This service costs £1.50 per minute.

This service is under investigation by ICSTIS.

Please be aware of this scam and forward this information to as many

as possible.

Should you receive a card from this company please follow the above

instructions

They cannot charge that much for a premium rate call. The maximum anyone can charge is £1:50 a minute. Secondly, this is a chain email going around about a compnay that isnt operating any more. Follow the link to Icstis and read about it for your self.

PS, my post was typed in the nicest way possible. But reading it back it looks like I was being a bit rude.
