Postal scam

[Trif]

Hi all
I just recieved details of a scam that's around at the moment. I've pasted the email I recieved.


dear all
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 09066611911 (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 crime stoppers website

Hmm..

It may be good, it may be not.

A lot of these things are just viral chain letters to clog up systems.

A wuick google shows it's 5yrs out of date.
