With Xmas fast approaching an old scam has reared it's ugly head once again. A card is being posted by hand through doors from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting they were unable to deliver a parcel and that the recipient needs to contact them on 0906 6611911. This is a premium rate number.

DO NOT call this number as the mailed card is a scam. If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will have alread been billed for £315 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card from these people then contact the Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.

More details can be found on ...

Take care xx

The best psychological health comes from admitting your faults and recognizing they're caused by someone else.

Not again! Ray you're right, it's that time of year again[:0]
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

Funds paid to date accepted as F&F 16th August 2013, the wait for completion begins.

If you read what it says though, the email is a hoax and the scam was shut down some years ago. If you are concerned and you get one of these cards then you should do the following:

If you receive a delivery card through your letterbox which you do not believe is genuine and which asks you to dial a premium rate number, you can contact PhonepayPlus on 0800 500 212 (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) for further guidance.

The article does say not to phone Royal Mail Fraud.
