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:
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.

Yes, this apparently was an actual scam that happened last xmas. Wouldn't be surprised if someone is trying it again.
We all get to used to seeing these warnings on email, and just assume they're all hoaxes.
But it sounds like this is (or was) one of the few genuine ones.
