Dear Members

Please see below details of the following post scam received from Essex
Police:


Can you circulate this around especially as Christmas is fast approaching -
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* £15 for the phone call.*

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail
Fraud
