Royal Mail and Trading Standards are making people aware of a scam that is circulating.

A card is being posted through letterboxes 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.

If you call the number and hear a recorded message you will have already been charged £315 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, please report them to the Royal Mail Fraud team on 020 7239 6655.

For more information visit the Crimestoppers website.

Action Fraud has urged all residents not to call the number provided if in doubt and to get in touch with the centre by using its online fraud reporting tool or calling 0300 123 2040.

Royal Mail has said they are looking into this as a matter of urgency.
