Is this a scam ?
Comments

These kind of scams have been going around for a while. They used to revolve around a letter through the door though (again, "valuable item"), and you had to ring a number and give details, such as name, address, bank details etc. so your parcel could be delivered.

Am I right in thinking this is a scam
All above board, just send them the money and await delivery of the missing parcel you are not missing.
BTW I have good news, an African dictator you've never heard of has left you £20000000000000000 and I have identified you as the sole heir. just forward me £200000 to cover the paperwork, and I'll get things rolling.

Who on earth would put an email address on a parcel, and if this was genuine surely the delivery company would use it as a contact rather than have to pay out for a missing parcel?
I would love to know how much they want if anyone ever confirmed their email and details.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

Many thanks for all the replies. I was 99% sure that it was a scam, but having lost a parcel just wanted to make sure. Its been deleted and of course not replied to.0
