Warning over delivery phone scam
Trading standards officers in Trafford have issued a warning about a telephone scam involving a company calling itself "Postal Force".

It follows complaints by several people who called a telephone number after finding a card at home saying the company had tried to deliver a parcel.

But the number was a premium phoneline and the householders were charged �1.50 a minute.

The council has now reported the complaints to the telephone watchdog.
