The scam involves a card being posted through letterboxes from a company called PDS. PDS – which in this case stands for Parcel Delivery Service – suggests that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you will need to contact them on 0906 661191 (a premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize. Royal Mail and The Trading Standards Office are asking that if you do receive a card with these details on, please report them to the Royal Mail Fraud team on 020 7239 6655. Action Fraud has also urged all residents not to call the number provided on the card, and if in doubt, to get in touch with the centre by using its online fraud reporting tool or calling 0300 123 2040.
