Are You Expecting A Delivery

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 on 02072396655 or ICSTIS (the premium rate service regulator)athttp://www.icstis.org.uk/

its an old scam
you had to pay 1.50 per min and the call lasted a total of 6 mins.
so 9 quid.

I get several emails a day saying if I don't forward the email to five dozen people I'll die at some seemingly random point in the next day or two. I'm still alive.You may be right there but this is the 2nd time in 2 days that I have hear of this from 2 seperate sources and with Crimbo on the way there is nothing to stop someboby doing it again.
