Postal Scam:


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:


http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/crime-prevention/helping-prevent-crime/scams/postal-delivery-scam

Erm, did you actually read the link on the crimestoppers website.


Says that this scam was shut down 5 years ago, the info has not come from Royal Mail, or Trading standards, and that it is actually the circulation of a chain email which is the problem... Don't open any attachments etc if you get it?

    • As I understand it, Poundland itself  has been saved (and is reassessing what it sells and its pricing strategy) but nevertheless is getting rid of a quite a few stores, including the ED one. There was a thread on here about it before it opened, and Lordship Lane always seemed to be a very odd choice of location for what used to be called a "pound shop".
    • But without knowing why they were removed, I don't see how we can comment. Does anybody know the reason?  I thought Malumbu's post was useful information, given the subject matter of this thread  I didn't think it was patronising.
    • Milo came home briefly last night but was unsettled and incredibly wary of us. We know he's be staying at other people's homes on and off over the summer, and this is very unsettling to him. If he's coming to yours for food or inviting himself in for the night, please turn him away or put him back out. He has a home, he is loved, and he is well looked after when he is here. He probably goes elsewhere as he not a huge fan of his medications or diet, but he has those for a reason. If he's not here, we can't make sure he stays well or be sure he's safe.
    • I would 100% recommend Silvano for anyone looking to learn to drive for the first time or refresh their skills. I took lessons with him after not driving for over a decade and Silvano got me back to driving confidently much more quickly than I thought possible. He’s super friendly and a great & patient teacher. Couldn’t recommend him more!
