This scam has begun circulating. Royal Mail and Trading Standards are aware of it. Heres the info.

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 a premium rate number (most often 0906 6611911).

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 on 02072396655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator) on there website. Unfortunatly it is not allowed to place website addresses in guides, try google for ICSTIS.
