hope this is in the right place to attract as much attention as poss, we recieved this thro a reliable business forum and as such is unchecked.

Be AWARE

If you receive a card through your door from a company call PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) saying that they have a parcel awaiting delivery instructions and can you contact them on 0906 6611911

DO NOT call the 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 ICTIS at www.icstis.org.uk or your local trading standards office.

This is a genuine scam.

(ICTIS have the following information about this number. This is a card posted through your letter box from PDS Parcel Delivery suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and to call the premium rate number in question. This service costs £1.50 per minute. This service is under investigation by ICSTIS. Please be aware of this scam and forward this information to as many as possible.)

there is another common one going around asking you to fax a price list to them. again a 090.... number.

Slightly incorrect, you can't be billed £15 a minute for a phone call in the UK

Funnily enough ICTIS mention this on their site:

http://www.icstis.org.uk/pdfs_news/email.pdf

It is however a scam at £1.50 a minute similar to one featured on the real hustle recently.

The max you were charged was £9 at the end of the call - and ictis have withheld all the funds from them anyway.

A genuine parcel firm would leave a card when they call.
debt recovery firms have been known to use this tactic as well.
If it has been mailed instead of left by a courier or parcel force, it is probably dodgy
