Card Fraud - Item bought by fraudsters delivered to me!

Minardi

Afternoon.

So. Monday afternoon. While I'm at work. Someone used my card online, by changing my SecureCode, to order an item from Tiffanys jewellers. I called the bank and my card has been stopped and a replacement issued.

Fast forward to today and I get a knock at the door. The item has been delivered. So now I have the item on my desk. I've reported it to the Police and my bank. Both said call Tiffanys and get them to send a jiffy to collect it. I've done that, despite their disbelief of the story.

Question is, how common is this? Also, am I lightly to be woken up in the middle of the night tonight by someone ransacking the place looking for it? Is that common? Worried now!

Expect a knock on the door from a bogus courier claiming they delivered the package to the wrong address, and can they have it back.

And what do I do, give it them?

I think the clue is in the word "bogus"...

Definitely not. You could always tell them it was incorrectly delivered so you returned it to the sender.

So not giving it to them isn't asking for my house to be trashed looking for it?

No..............

So that's enough to get rid of them? I bloody hope so. I'm worried now. Is this fairly common then?

tell them you took it direct into a tiffany store as you work near to one

ring tiffany's and tell them to send a courier to your work to collect it and when they turn up ring tiffany's and verify the actual collection note number with them that the Courier driver gives you !
