Royal Mail and Trading Standards are making people aware of a scam that is circulating.
A card is being posted through letterboxes 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.
If you call the number and hear a recorded message you will have already been charged £315 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these details, please report them to the Royal Mail Fraud team on 020 7239 6655.
