If you receive a card through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) saying that they have a parcel awaiting delivery instructions and give you the contact number 0906 6611911...
DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER - IT IS A MAIL SCAM ORIGINATING IN BELIZE. IF YOU DO YOU WILL START TO HEAR A RECORDED MESSAGE AND YOU WILL BE BILLED £15 FOR THE CALL PLUS £1.50 PER MINUTE AFTER THE MESSAGE.
