Unnecessary scam

Why dont you give us the name of the scammer then we can try to ensure it dont happen again.

I doubt that would help.  These people switch usernames all the time and the address they give for delivery won't be their actual address.  It'll be that of an accomplice or an innocent third party who will unwittingly be part of the con.

... It is like the parcel no longer belongs to you after you've given it over to be posted!

I don't think it's "like" that - that's what it actually is.  Once you've posted it, it's effectively no longer your property and can't (or at least shouldn't) be intercepted or interfered with before it's delivered to the addressee.

This is what I thought too.

Maybe custardy could pop up and helpfully clarify.

I think the OP was very unfair in the initial post to blame RM.
