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 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 Royal Mail Fraud or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) or your local trading

standards office. This is a genuine scam and is under investigation by

ICSTIS.
