There are fake parcel deliveries in the news, phone contracts especially are the main target. Please do not accept a package and sign for it if you are not expecting anything. Phones are delivered, then picked up again, but by that time it?s too late because you have signed for the package. Read on BBC news.

If that was the case he wouldn?t be saying here ?taken in? a parcel for the OP.

The phone scam happened to my work mate, they had a new 02 phone delivered in their name, then a man claiming to be a courier knocked and said it had been delivered by mistake ( how that could be if their name and address was on the package) .. my friends husband denied they had a package much ti the guys confusion and took it back to an 02 shop.

Not sure what is going on here with this one though... I'd say a cack handed attempt to see who lived there, creepy.

Just quoting the above so that it's at the end of the thread rather than the beginning.


But also wondering what the explanation was???

Good guesses but not so exciting. The guy found the parcel/empty box in the gutter outside his house. He worried that it had fallen from delivery van whereas in fact it must have fallen from bin lorry. So the man kindly delivered it back to my house, he just didn't hang around to explain fully. I jumped to a negative explanation when I couldn't understand how my recycled box had been redelivered.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
