COVENTRY residents are being warned not to be duped by a postal premium phoneline.
The Trading Standards Office is reminding people not to call a number that is posted through your letterbox from a company called Parcel Delivery Service.
A note is delivered from PDS suggesting they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 - a premium rate number that if dialled can land you with a £15 bill.
Trading Standards officers have advised not to call the number as it is a mail scam originating from Belize two years ago.
Since a warning was sent out during the winter months last year there have been no new cases of people falling victim to the scam.
If you do receive a card with these details then contact Royal Mail Fraud on 0207 239 6655 or visit premium rate service regulator website www.icstis.org.uk.
