Subject: FW: Royal mail scam.

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*

Thanks for that. I've just printed it out for Trousers to read on the desk in the morning.
(He gets up at the crack of Sparrow .art and, although I think he dips into the forum at that hour, I'm never sure.... now he'll get the message for sure.)
Thanks Happymouse.....
