Thanks to Areca Design for alerting us to this 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 £315.00 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:

Old and very out-of date news I'm afraid:- Postal scam chain email 2010 – PhonepayPlus’ statement 17/11/2010 00:00:00 PhonepayPlus, the phone-paid services regulator, is aware that a chain e-mail about an alleged postal scam is being circulated on the internet. The email refers to the Royal Mail, Trading Standards and ICSTIS (PhonepayPlus' former name). PhonepayPlus appreciates that recipients of the email may want to find out more information about the alleged scam and has therefore issued the following statement: The chain email refers to a service (operating on 0906 6611911) that was shut down by PhonepayPlus (then ICSTIS) in December 2005. PhonepayPlus subsequently fined the company that was operating the service, Studio Telecom (based in Belize), £10,000. The service is NO LONGER running and has NOT been running since December 2005. report abuse...
