Island residents are being warned about a new scam involving bogus parcel deliveries - which could cost you dear.
Targets will be sent a card in the post or a text message telling them a parcel has been sent for them and they should phone a specified number to organise delivery.
But the number is a premium rate recorded message costing ?1.50 per minute.
This latest scam works well in the run up to Christmas, when people will not be surprised to receive international deliveries.
Chief Inspector at the Trading Standards Office is John Peet (audio file attached):
