Dorset residents are being warne about a bogus parcel scam at Christmas
The gift - usually a bunch of flowers with a bottle of wine - arrives at the agreed time and a £3 surcharge is requested as proof that the delivery was made to an adult. Card payment is then taken on a card reader, which records the victim's PIN and three-digit security code.
Victims get to keep the flowers and the wine but later discover that their card details have been used to make transactions from ATMs.
