in memoriam - 1965-2024
As some will know I deliver parcels for a living.
Was told to day of a scam that has already seen 100s, if not 1000s affected.
A Courier phones, asking if you will be in at X 0'Clock, then turns up with flowers and some wine. Valentine pressie, whats not to like?
Then says cos its booze, they need £3.50 delivery payment to verify the delivery to an 18 pus year old. Credit/debit card only, obvs.
Then they empty your bank account. Quickly.
No genuine courier will ever ask for a payment. All delivery charges have been paid by customer/sender anyrate.
Not a joke this. Just let your girlfriends/wives/elderly parents etc know.
