    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: </span></font><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">
    </span><font size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">
    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 <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Belize</place></country-region>. If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £15 for the phone call. </span></font><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">

    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</span></font>
