A sneaky scam is targeting homes with fake cards from a company called PDS – posing as “Parcel Delivery Service.” The card claims a parcel couldn’t be delivered and urges you to call 0906 661191, a premium-rate number.
Don’t call it! This is a mail scam tracing back to Belize, designed to rip you off.
What To Do If You Get One
- Ignore the number on the card and don’t give out any details.
- Report it immediately to the Royal Mail Fraud team on 020 7239 6655.
- Contact Action Fraud through their online fraud reporting tool or call 0300 123 2040.
Official Warnings
Both Royal Mail and The Trading Standards Office have issued stern warnings. They urge everyone to stay vigilant and not fall victim to this growing scam.
Remember: genuine parcels never ask you to ring premium numbers. Stay alert, and protect yourself from these fraudsters!
