Fake tracking label?

sham63

I received a parcel today (sent by RM 2nd class) with this label on the back - I guess it's home made by the seller? Might be a good idea if it gives the impression that it's been sent tracked !

Never seen that before. Maybe they put it on there to deter people from filing not recieved claims

RFID is radio frequency tracking.

Presumably somewhere there is a site showing rfid tracking codes. I can't find it on a google search and the normal track & trace requires 13 character codes. This rfid code only has 12.

"Tracked from point of despatch"

This variation of the spelling occasionally gets used overseas but I've never seen it on a "professionally" produced item in the UK.

Bottom line, it's probably a load of cr*p, but you got your item right? No probs.

I've been tempted to do this to deter the INR scammers

You dont need a tracking code for RFID
they are different technologies
IMO the label in the OP is simply a 'scare' label to make the recipient assume the sender has proof of deliver
RMs RFID tech wouldnt give proof of delivery,only when it left the delivery office

theoretica

Have you shredded the label to see if it does indeed have a coil in it?

In British English both forms of the word, despatch or dispatch are considered acceptable.

I realise that but "dispatch" is the variation normally used in the UK especially by businesses.
