Default Postal Scam

I've just been sent the following information on this scam. Just
thought I'd make you aware...
Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching -
it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are
making people aware of the following scam: Its an old one but some people still fall for it.
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 £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:
