PLEASE ADVISE ALL READERS OF A NASTY TELEPHONE SCAM CURRENTLY DOING THE ROUNDS.     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 0906-66119911  A PREMIER RATE NUMBER.   DO NOT call this number as this is a mail scam originating in Belize. IFyou call this number you will hear a recorded message ,you have then been billed £15 for the phone call. if you receive a card with these details then contact ROYAL MAIL FRAUD ON  0207 239 6655

Thanks, but you have obviously received a hoax chain mail.

 

This scam was briefly happening a few years ago.


The £15 connection charge is an urban myth tacked onto the chain letter by people to spice it up, curently you can only be charged a maximum of £1.50 a minute for a premium rate number.
