Intercept Special Delivery (due to scam)

Post by mhulks »

Hello

I’ve seen one or two similar posts on this so sorry for any repetition.

I sent a parcel this morning (FB marketplace transaction) only to realise the buyer is a fraudster and payment has never been issued to me.

The item I presume, at this rate, will be with them on Monday morning. It has my name and return address stuck on the parcel.

Is there any way i can have this parcel halted and returned?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

They're our internal investigations branch but might be able to help you.

But I think the chances of stopping it now are slim.

Report it to the police they have committed a crime, even if the address is a "mule" the police can still prosecute and investigate. Report them on Facebook as well.
