Subject: FW: Christmas Scam











  I've been warned about the following scam :







  Christmas is fast approaching,  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).

  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.
  For more information, see the Crime Stoppers website:
  http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/crime-prevention/helping-prevent-crime/scams/postal-delivery-scam

  Please be aware that the premium rate number may change but nevertheless 
please do not call any number stated on a card from PDS.

  Can you please make all your family, friends and neighbours aware of the 
above.
