Parcel Delivery Services Scam

If you receive a card through your door from a Parcel Delivery Service saying that they have a parcel awaiting delivery instructions and can you contact them on 0906 6611911, DO NOT call the 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 for the phone call.

If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact

  • Royal Mail Fraud on 02072396655
  • or
  • ICTIS at www.icstis.org.uk
  • or
  • your local trading standards office.

ICTIS have the following information about this number. This is a card posted through your letter box from PDS Parcel Delivery suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and to call the premium rate number in question. This service costs £1.50 per minute. This service is under investigation by ICSTIS."

Public Transport - Route Planner and Timetables

If you use public transport, then you may be interested in a very useful website that we were recently made aware of:

www.travelineeastanglia.org.uk is the website of Traveline, a government-sponsored initiative to promote all public transport in the region including trains, buses, coaches and trams. The service covers all East Anglia, including Buckden. Buckden can be entered as a "town" on the journey planner. Local bus, train and coach services are included - so appropriate connections are worked out as necessary.

It is also possible to contact Traveline on the generic Public Transport enquiry phone number of 0870 608 2608. Again this covers all public transport. The same number applies throughout the UK but routes to a local office in the first instance.

(Thanks to Stuart Wilkinson for providing details of this website.)
