Parcels delivery company, Interlink Express has distanced itself from the Premium Rate Telephone Number scam-taking place in the London area. Interlink Express is pursuing legal action against the people responsible and have had British Telecomm Fraud Bureau Services terminate the number.
The scam involves an illegitimate company claiming to be Interlink International Post contacting members of the public via door-drop cards and telephone leaving messages requesting they call regarding a parcel held for them. The contact telephone number is a high premium rate number 0906 909 1111 which connects to an automated music recording.
Kay Phillips, Interlink Express chief operating officer said, “I wish to assure the public and our customers that this scam is not in any way related to our business. We are disappointed that some people attempted to abuse our good name and reputation in order to deceive and steal money. We have taken immediate steps to terminate the scam and held discussions with the trading standards people at the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, who are also investigating the swindle.”
Interlink Express, is part of express parcel group, GeoPost UK, the third largest distribution group in the UK. Interlink Express operates through a franchised distribution network of 99 franchises located throughout the UK.
