I would say the BBC is one of THE most credible sources around.  The BBC reported in depth on this story, including quoting there had been over 150 complaints about this particular hoax and it was the sixth of its type this year.
 
They went on to name the company (SR Services or something like that).  They also reported that when they investigate the address of the company it was a residential bungalow and the person living there was of a different name.
 
While I realise that most of these things ARE hoaxes _Un-fortunately_ not all of them are!!
 
Thanks.
