True or not who knows? But best aware anyway!

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:

Someone's recently put this on the intranet at work too! :wallbash:
 
Scam Warning

If you see on your TV an innocent looking quiz such as the one below, e.g. when watching X Factor with your family:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the next word in this Beatles song:

'All you need is...':

A. A nice cold beer
B. A Lobotomy
C. Love

If you think you know the right answer then call 09xx-xxx-xxx. Calls are charged at £££ per minute. Calls from mobile phones may be considerably higher.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

do NOT call this number, instead notify the Police immediately, this is a scam.

If you have children at home then you have my sympathy, as they beg you for the phone while you try to explain to them that they are not geniuses about to win the lottery.




Err.. sorry, my mistake. I am told that this is actually legal, so don't call the police then. How this scam can be legal I do not know. :confused:

Next there will be a warning about "Progestorex" going around Facebook.

Already had the one about a gang member hiding in the back seat of somones car in Tescos this week.
 
A seasonal warning!!

Police warn all single men, party-goers and unsuspecting pub regulars to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. A new date rape drug on the market called "beer" is used by many females to target unsuspecting men.

The drug is generally found in liquid form and is now available anywhere. "Beer" is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and have sex with them.

Typically, a woman needs only to persuade a guy to consume a few units of "beer" and then simply ask him home for no-strings-attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several "beers" men will often succumb to desires to perform sexual acts on horrific looking women to whom they would never normally be attracted.

After drinking "beer" men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that something bad occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings in a familiar scam known as "a relationship."

Apparently, men are much more susceptible to this scam after "beer" is administered and sex is offered by the predatory female.

Please! Forward this warning to every male you know.

However, if you fall victim to this insidious "beer" and the predatory women administering it, there are male support groups with venues in every town where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter in an open and frank manner with similarly affected, like minded guys.

For the support group nearest you, just look up "Golf Courses" in the Yellow pages.
 
This was on our local radio (BBC) this morning, and as has been said this was dealt with in 2005 and no longer applies.

Another reason to buy an SLK.... :bannana:
