Dh just text me from work to say that there is a scam going on by a company called PDS.

Apparently they stick a postcard through your door saying they have an undelivered parcel and give you a number to call. DO NOT CALL the number....it is a premium rate line and you'll get charged £15.00!!!!!!

You have been warned

possibly the same company, annoyed tho as we are Xdirectory and also registered with the tps so nobody should have my number, hopefully won't be charged too much as I put the phone down pretty damn quick will inform dd tonight in advance of the bill coming in, saying that its going to be high anyway (must stop ringing GMTVs competition oops)

that should be dh not dd (she's only 14mths so the phone bill means nought to her)

I don't think it's possible to get charged £15, the max charge per minute is £1.50. This may be relevant.
