Warning! Parcel Scam

[rabbitygirl]

Had an e mail from a reputable source. It's probably not a new scam but appears to be active at present.

Cards are being posted thru doors from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) saying they are unable to deliver a parcel.

They give a number to ring - 0906 6611911 - a premium rate number. DO NOT CALL. It's a scam originating from abroad.

If you call it and connect to a recorded message you have already been billed �15.

If you receive a card call Royal Mail Fraud on 0207 239 6655 or contact ICSTIS (premium rate service regulator) at www.icstis.org.uk.
