Can you circulate this around the village especially as Christmas is fast approaching. It has been confirmed by The Royal Mail. The Trading Standards are making people aware of the following scam: A card is delivered to your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel & that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (premium rate number). Do not cal this number as this is a mail scam organising from Belize. If you do call the number you will start to hear a recorded message you will already of been billed £15 for the phone call. If you do recieve a card with these details, then please contact the Royal Mail Fraud Department on 0207 2396655 or ICSTIS (Premium rate regulator) at icstis.org.uk We cannot validate either of the numbers on this post. 0207 2396655 is said to be the Royal Mail Fraud Dept. but we can find no record of it on their website. Do not call either number, go directly to the local Post Office or Police Station. |

The Police have had numerous calls from local residents in Newquay, stating that they have received bogus phone calls from persons who were tying to obtain their bank details over the phone. The following calls were made; - (1) A male had phoned stating that he was from Great Ormand Street Hospital and asked if the female would provide £20 per month for repairs to the Hospital building. The caller was then asked for her bank details to which she declined. The receiver presumed it was suspicious and phoned 1471 but the number was withheld. (2) A male phoned an elderly female and stated he was calling from the BT Debt Recovery Company and would the female like to pay over the phone by card. The female refused to provide any details and instantly terminated the call. The female then phoned BT who stated that the phone call was not made from a BT debt recovery service. The majority of these calls are being made to elderly persons. Please be aware that bogus phone calls are being made and not to provide any bank details over the phone. Thank you. |
