Parcel Delivery & Telephone Scam

If you receive a card through your door from a company call PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) saying that they have a parcel awaiting delivery instructions and can you contact them on 0906 6611911 DO NOT call the number as this is a premium rate number registered to a business in Belize.

If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed up to £15 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these or similar details you can check the status of the number against the premium rate number records with ICTIS - click here for a link to their online database.
