Motorblog Xmas Mail Scam: Just heard about this and can only presume it's true?
You get home to find a card on your doormat saying a parcel company has tried delivering but you were out, and asks you to call the number on the card.
Apparently, this is the scam, as it's a Premium Rate Line and the call cranks up a hefty bill in a very short space of time.
So, if you order anything and get a card waiting for you, check the given number; it should be a LOCAL NUMBER!
If it isn't, think about what, if anything, you have ordered through the mail, if you haven't, throw the card away or contact your local Citizen's Advice to report it.
