Royal Mail scam
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 661 1911 ( A premium rate number) DO NOT call this number, as this is a scam originating from Belize. If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed for £15 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 732 96655 or ICTIS ( The premium rate service regualtor) @ Icstis Homepage
Bear this in mind people, it could save you a few quid!!

This sort of stuff still goes on, as well as the "you'll need to pay for this package" scam, where you pay £10-£20 for a second hand book.
be vigilant, and dont pay for ANYTHING on the doorstep, unless you know the source. If in doubt, ask them to send you a bill !!!

Instead of concentrating on old viruses, new ones are being generated,. I hope i've made myself crystal.
Many thanx.
