[modeleng] Off Topic-Parcel scam

I dont usually post "off topic" matter, but at this time of year, this may 
catch one of the list members and needs wider publicity.

A card is posted through your letter box stating that a parcel was delivered 
but you were out. It has the general appearance of the GPO card, but is from 
a company named PDS (Parcel Delivery Service).
It asks that you call the number on the card (usually 0906 6611911) BUT, if 
you do, as soon as you connect to the recorded message, you will have 
incurred a charge of £15 on your phone bill, and more if you bother to 
listen to the whole recording.

The scam originates in Belize, to where the calls are routed.

Beware!!
