    Just had mail from friends warning...
    If you have a card in your post telling you a Company called PDS..Parcel Delivery Service. has a package awaiting delivery to you and to call number..09066611911, DO NOT!
    The number is in Belize and will cost you �£15 per connection and �£1.50 per minute.

    Thanks for the heads up - that one would be easier to fall for than some - e.g you've just won a prize, phone this number

    I wonder what would happen if you asked the operator to reverse the charges ;)
