Ladies and Gentlemen

Someone sent me the following e-mail message. I don’t know if it is genuine or not, but better to think a hoax a scam than to get caught by the scam.

Postal Scam

Please can you circulate this around URGENTLY especially as Christmas 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 0207 239 6655.
