    Watch out for following scam, as stuff gets ordered on the internet near Christmas and you expect a
    package - just be mindful of this scam when you get an "undelivered card"
    on your door mat.



    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 0906 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 £315 for the phone call.
    |
    | If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal
    |
    | Mail
    |
    | Fraud on 020 7239 6655.

    Im not sure it was ever possible to be charged £315 for a uk phone connection either. £1.50 a minute was the max last time I looked
