TRIS'S PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: :BEWARE POSTAL SCAM

And certainly beware of chain letter that don't seem like chain letters!

Well...as you can see from the comments below, my old friend has misled me (probably not on purpose) but none the less, this post was pretty much a load of twaddle... There may be a scam going on, so beware, but Monty has come up with a site where you can check phone numbers you might be doubtful of

http://whocallsme.com/

I’ve left the post up so you can see what a silly Billy I am, and also to advertise the site!

I just received an email with this information from an old friend. I have no idea how serious it is, but it won’t do anyone (in the UK) any harm to be cautious.

He’s what it says:

Postal Scam:

Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching -
It has been confirmed by Royal Mail. 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 6611911 (a Premium rate
number).

DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize .

If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you
will already have been billed £315 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 020 7239 6655.

It's better to be safe than sorry.
