SCAM ALERT

I saw this on the Wisbech website called Shape Your Place and think it might be useful.

"The below has been received today by the police. This is one of the quickest ways we can get the message across.

With Christmas fast approaching it is easy to fall for this kind of scam. We have had no reports of incidents such as this in the area as yet, but please be on your guard!

Postal Scam:

"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 £315 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.
