Title: Christmas Parcel Scam - Beware
Post by: Kev Martin on November 22, 2015, 08:48:43 am
There is a parcel scam going round.  Please email, put it on all social media sites because this is a nasty one especially  for pensioners.

A card is posted through your door from PDS (Parcel Delivery Services) suggesting they have attempted to deliver a parcel but you were out.  They then ask you to ring a number to rearrange delivery which is all normal but beware this is when it starts.

The number which is currently 0906 6611911 is a premium rate number and if you call it and start to hear a recorded message you will be billed up to £315.00 for the call.

If you get one of these cards from PDS please contact Crimestoppers  or call Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.

More importantly  please tell all your friends, family and neighbours
