Parcel Delivery Service Scam

In my whole years of internet surfing i have received numerous email letters telling me to forward that very important email, because my dog would die, or my dvd player would burn or I would win amazing amounts of money and other tragic stories.

I got this by email from a trusted person. And it is a totally new fraud - scam concept. Hence it might be true. Whatever it is, proceed with caution.



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

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 09066611911 (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 02072396655.

  1. Hello,

    The parcel service is bounded with its own fundamentals and has to stand by the rules of the government across the globe. A parcel delivery service allows its clients to send documents and parcels irrespective of whether it is local or international. Thank you...

  2. Hi JAmes, I don't have anything against dpd but there have been instances that scammers use the names of legitimate businesses for their own purposes
