Free World Cup Ball Delivered Today??!

I thought this forum would be best place to see if anyone else has received a free full size World Cup Football this morning? Quite random that I've come home to find a blue package in porch addressed to me. I open it only to find a brand new Red World Cup Ball and NO paperwork/letter whatsoever!? Just the ball.

The only markings on the package are: If Undelivered return to MRM, PO Box 504, Leicester. LE94 OAE.

Anyone else receive the same gift? I litereally have NO IDEA why I have received and am dubious that unless it is returned I will be billed in a months time or so for a football!!

Comments appreciated!!

    Well if they tried to bill you just quote the Unsolicited Goods and Services Act and point out that they must either collect the ball or provide you with a pre-paid envelope/box to return the ball in.

    If you haven't ordered it it is their fault.
