Hi All

Just a word of warning

Quoted text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Royal Mail postal scam.

Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas 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 02072396655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at 
www.icstis.org.uk <http://www.icstis.org.uk>
