hi all not sure if this has been posted before but i just learned of it today and thought it relevant to modellers considering the amount of parcels we get.

a company called parcel delivery service(PDS) who post a card through the door stating they couldnt deliver your parcel please ring 09066611911 which turns out to be a premium number and you have now run up a bill for £315.00.
Royal Mail fraud department ask to ring them on 02072396655 if this happens to you.

Thanks for the heads up John.
The Beloved has a lot of parcels due (Xmas pressies), so I shall warn her as well.

NO NO NO! sorry guys but you'll be looking out for nothing

We got this at work, with the link - but if you click the link it turns out this scam was shut down in 2005 and is simply sent round causing panic

there was actually something in my newspaper this morning letting people know that this doesn't exisit.
