Just been informed by some business colleagues of a delivery service scam going around. If a card lands on your doormat from a Company called PDS suggesting a failed parcel delivery, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE RING THE ADVERTISED TEL NO. (0906 6611 911). This is a premium rate number, and the second you hear a recorded message you will have been billed for £15.00! This is a scam originating from Belize and is currently under investigation by the Premium Rate Service Regulator.
If you come across this, report it to 'Royal Mail Fraud Office' / your local Trading Standards Office or the Premium Rate Service Regulator.

Didi you read your own reference? it says: We do not believe that this service is operating again.... The email you received referred to a £15 charge. This is in fact an urban myth. It is not possible for a £15 charge to be made on connection.... In fact your refernce is trying to stop 'internet chain letters' like the one you have just started! what a waste of time!

Yeah this was reported in the news on Radio 2 last week. It is bad that it takes so much money off you as soon as you connect.
