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 trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
