Guest AP1shooter Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 The Trading Standards Office have brought the following scam to our attention: 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 this 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 or ICTIS (the premium rate service regulator) at http://www.icstis.org.uk or your local trading standards office.

I cant find any info on 'Royal Mail Fraud', and I dont even think the number is true to contact them. All looks fake to me, I think this scam is a scam. Scams like this are usually invented by people that want too see there ''scam'' posted accross websites, and sent through mails. Just a little research, and you can find out if its true or not.
