? Scam

We had a letter through Today from a supposed courier.... apparently we have a parcel which they tried to deliver, but the delivery failed. They want a card payment or £1.80 to re deliver.

Well I’ve tried and I’m dammed if I can find anything about them on tinterweb, their address seems to be a new industrial park which still seems up for let..... and I’m not giving my card details to a random company who have mailed me! And why a letter not a calling card!

Beware!

I’ve not ordered anything, like be some Xmas freebies but it sounds more likely me a scam to me Whistle There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

It sounds very suspicious! How do they expect you to contact them?

They have a number..... which all sounds very legit on the menu system...google the number but nothing comes up

But why would a courier send me a letter not a calling card to say they couldn’t deliver a parcel to a business premises which is open during business hours

I don’t have the letter here it came to the office There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Hmmm yes.

And if they were real why would a fairly specific search with all their details address and phone number not reveal anything about a company who is supposedly large enough to rent a brand new 30,000sqft warehouse on a flagship industrial development...... Whistle

Hopefully no one has been caught out. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

If your name or company name and address is not in this mail and if they don't have a phone number you can trace back to this comp. Forget it. The amount of scam mails we get daily here is breath taking. If it's for real they'll come back to you.

Sorry missed that. Sounds a smart scam. Be careful, my creditcard was blocked two weeks ago because it was used 3x in Mexico. That did not fit in with the daily routines, so they blocked my card. We are so careful with our cards and never give numbers through the web (always paypal or the likes) and still someone got my numbers in mexico.???

If they have that parcel for you they will be back. And 1.80 seems a ridiculous sum for passing again.

Are they suggesting cash on delivery?

If the number is a normal landline number have you tried calling it? John

Every courier I know would leave a card.

Not send you a letter.

Smells like cow dung to me. What do I put here then?

The number you call to rearrange delivery is probably a premium rate number leaving you with a large bill. I seem to recall hearing of this scam a while back , particularly around Christmas time where a lot of parcels are sent, you call the number provided and hey presto that call costs +£300

Thought of that but it’s an 0800 number.... so free.

Just seems off.

Sorry that was a typo, should be card payment of 1.80.called the number and it you get a menu press 1,2,3,4 for customer services etc, called on a caller Id blocked mobile, and couldn’t get an answer. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Yep. Seen that a few times round here.

Anyhow I’m of the opinion that, if I can’t remember what I ordered tho I’m pretty sure I haven’t ordered anything, I can’t be missing much... so they can return it to sender if it exists.... if it is a scam then I’m no worse off.... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
