Parcel Delivery Service Scam
This info may be especially relevant in run up to Christmas. 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 0306 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 ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at:
www.icstis.org.uk or your local trading standards office. This is a genuine scam and is under investigation by ICSTIS.
