Hi
Can someone help me please, I found a "SORRY WE MISSED YOU!" card in my letter box from a courier company called WorldService Express phone numbers 0871 268 2907 and 0871 268 2908.   

I can't find these numbers and the company on this site, could it be a scam? Please help Undecided
Thank you.

Very likely to be a scam.

As they are making only about 10p per minute from the phone calls, perhaps there is some additional element to the scam?

The website gives their number as 0116 266 8500.

It's more likely they have large (old) stocks of those cards with the 0871 number printed on them.

How can you tell when a lawyer's lying?  His (or her) lips move.

That number belongs to Worldwide Express who are not necessarily the same company

In the past this sort of thing was a well known scam. This example was from a long time ago but no reason why it couldn't happen again.

Also if you phone them, they have a real phone number from somebody who is potentially susceptible to other scams.
