The Sunday Mail - NEWS - PHONEY RACKET'S NUMBER IS UP: " PARCEL delivery scam is being probed by watchdogs.
Royal Mail investigators and Trading Standards Officers have launched an inquiry into Parcel Delivery Services, run by Wrexham-based firm Studio Telecom.

The card claims: 'Digital camera. To arrange delivery please ring our despatch line.' But callers to the 0906 number end up running up a �10 phone bill.
Premium rate phone line regulators ICSTIS pulled the plug on the �1.50 a minute phone number just hours ago.
