O2 payg FREE dongle - or is it

Hi All,

I have a dilemma that someone may be able to guide me with.

Currently I have the basic home broadband, a personal mobile phone and a business mobile - which is paid for by the company.

A few days ago I received a parcel from O2.

Inside was a PAY-AS-YOU-GO white broadband dongle and sim card.

I have never ordered one (Even tough i did think about it when Quidco were doing the cashback).

I have checked all my accounts that i use and credit cards and NO money has been taken for the dongle.

My dilemma is - What do i do.
Do i call them and highlight the mistake:A (must be a mistake surly)??
or
Do i just keep it (and sell it on eBay;)) and hope they don't charge me down the line.??

Has anyone else had one sent to them too???

Thankyou in advance.:T
:jTo be Young AGAIN!!!!...what a wonderfull thought!!!!!:rolleyes:

    Well someone could have take one out fraudulently in your name and failed to intercepted it before delivery. In which case you'll get a bill at some point, if you've signed for the item and sold it you might have a problem claiming fraud at this point and find you're in a contact for the thing...

    You should call them and tell them asap, thats the safest option.

    it comes under unsolicited goods. you have to inform them and make them avaliable for collection for a reasonable amount of time, say 14 days, after that they become yours to keep / dispose of.
