Here's another. If you dial 01234 567890, your brain will immediately be sucked out of your ear. Sounds like a few on here have tried it already.

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.
For more information, see the Crime Stoppers website:

READ. THE. FUCKING. LINK. The one that you yourself have posted. Which bit of "This is a hoax" do you not understand?
If that gives you satisfaction abusing someone acting in good faith then whooppee for you.
No I didn't read the link but just hope you never find yourself conned by a scam which people didn't bother to alert you to .
One nil to you - well done hope you feel good - ffs!

Exactly - do not fall for this. Ignore any requests to call about an item you have not ordered.
Stay alert

Thats the link, for the lazy it says this is bollocks.
"This email is a hoax and the information contained in it is not true. If you receive this information please ignore it."
Then goes on to say word for word what you have wrote.
Appreciate (as do the others I imagine) that you are trying to help out fellow Blues but the best way you can do that is by checking the info out before passing it on.
I'd be very careful about passing on easily checkable scare mongering stories and I'd urge all Bluemooners to do the same.

Dont get so uppity mate, things like this cause me no end of aggro, people I know both at work and out think its related to what I do and therefore pester me like mad when they see it. Its a real pain in the arse and for the sake of checking the very link you posted you can save people the mither.
You might be posting in good faith, but as an example what if this news gets to vulnerable people who havent got access to google (or the link that you yourself posted) and spend christmas shitting it in case they get a call and get fleeced for hundreds of pounds when there is no real threat.
I know that happens more than you would think, its the only reason I bothered logging in to say something. Always check as much as possible when reading shite like this before reposting/telling others.
