Title: Another Scam
Post by: mrs bouquet on October 08, 2020, 11:50
I have been advised of one today which is a card stating a  parcel has been delivered by a firm called PDS, and to ring this No ......   This is a premium rate number and by the time you have listened to it, you will have spent £135.00,  beware.    Mrs Bouquet

Our local police have also advised this is running as an email asking you to phone a number, as well as the old card through the letter box scam.

An email supposedly from Virgin Media saying I had accrued enough loyalty points to get a free phone. Click here to pay postage!

We are with Virgin for broadband but if it sounds too good to be true.....
