WITH Christmas fast approaching, people in Worcestershire are being warned of a scam in which people are being tricked into believing they have missed a parcel delivery.

Fraudsters have been targeting people by posting cards through their doors claiming to be from a company called Parcel Delivery Services, or PDS.

The card asks the recipient to call 0906 6611 911 to rearrange delivery, but when they do they hear a recorded message and are immediately charged £315 to their phone bill.

Royal Mail’s fraud team have said the number on the card may vary, but any card claiming to be from PDS should be considered a scam.

Anyone receiving a card matching the description is asked to call the fraud team on 020 7239 6655.
