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?

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
