100milesaway Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 In my spam folder from Amazon.co.uk, telling me they have despatched my package no mention of what was in package. Amazing as i havn't ordered anything. I sent an E Mail back saying I havn't ordered anything from them and if they send anything i will keep it so please don't send anything. Just had another E Mail from a company calling themselves UPS INC saying they have tried to deliver a package yesterday at 8 am and we wern't in. We were in at 8am but no one tried to deliver anything,sounds like some kind of a scam but i don't know how or what they are trying on. Anyone else had this occurance??? from Auntie.

KFC Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 They may well give you an 090 number to ring to arrange collection. This will cost you about £50 so bin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

station Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Strangely enough I had an email from Amazon earlier this week asking me to check certain security details. My account was, supposedly, temporarily locked so needed immediate action ! This is a well known scam trying to get login and security info from people. My advice is - if in doubt, then delete.
