This 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.

Eastcote Local were there to cover the event in full.....First images

The Real Estates team provided refreshments for the passer by, on the cold but bright wintery day, bringing the festive spirit to Eastcote for the turning on of the Christmas lights.
The expression on the children’s face and the excitement in their eyes was magical, as they had an opportunity to sit and have a one on one with Santa Claus, who of course was the “Reel Deal”. While the children were happy to get gifts from Santa, mums, dads and grandparents were delighted to sample some of the festive flavours on offer, and some even warmed themselves with a hot whiskey.
Reel Estates Eastcote wanted to bring some festive cheers to the thousands of people who arrived in Eastcote for the Christmas Market Fair.
