Unexpected delivery

Post by Steve N »

Just had a delivery company try to deliver 25 boxes of medical syringes from China, the delivery note had my company name and address on it, told the driver I had not ordered them and I would not except delivery of them and to take them away :shock:

Could be some sort of scam :head:

I don't like the sound of that! A company located close to you has ordered industrial quantities of medical syringes and may be using your business name and address as a cover for ordering them. This could be trouble!

I would report all of this to the police and ask for an incident number which you can keep on record, just in case you need to cover youself.

If these syringes are used for illegal purposes, you may come be suspected of being involved, or the supplier may later be trying to get payment for the consignment from you. Also the police might be very interested to talk to the people who took delivery of the syringes.

The worst are the ones where they stand at the door trying to convince you that you MUST have ordered them because it's your address! Nope! Would definitely remember that one!
