Just to warn you compers incase you think it is a win
Just something to be aware of folks, esp with xmas fast approaching!
This has apparently been circulated around the police & has been confirmed by Royal Mail so it may be true! 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.
