I have just been forwarded a message regarding a new scam that leaves you with a big telephone bill!! No joke, details pasted below.
Subject: Important that you read this.............................
May be something to watch but ....
Please tell all you know about this.
PLease pass this on, it might save you some money.
If you receive a card through your door from a company call PDS
(Parcel Delivery Service) saying that they have a parcel awaiting
delivery instructions and can you contact them on 0906 6611911.
DO NOT call the 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 ICTIS at www.icstis.org.uk or
your local trading standards office.
This is a genuine scam.
ICTIS have the following information about this number.
This is a card posted through your letter box from PDS Parcel Delivery
suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and to call the
premium rate number in question. This service costs £1.50 per minute.
This service is under investigation by ICSTIS.
Please be aware of this scam and forward this information to as many
as possible.
Should you receive a card from this company please follow the above
instructions.

As many of us are often awaiting parcels with goodies for our Rexes, I thought it was worth giving everyone the heads up
The bastards :headbang: :explode:
