Heads up - WARNING!!!

[FunkyDave]

This might be a re-post but i thought its prob worth making everyone aware of this:

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 £315 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.

[MikeYost]

Thanks for that info, will pass it on

[FunkyDave]

I got an email bout then saw it on another forum so thought its best to tell as many people as possible, no one wants to be ripped off especially near christmas!

Not seen it, I never call them anyway but thanks for the heads up :y:

No doubt some numpty will phone anyway then make a thread saying they got scammed :panic: Its gonna happen & we all know it lol

I don' think its particularly clever, but how can they charge that call at the amount. We have a premium rate line which is 25p per minute & we legally have to display a message before connecting someone

[MiniGibbo]

Absolute wankers!

"hello madaaam"

[Moke]

On the Crimestoppers website, they said that number has been ceased in 2005?
