A friend had a parcel delivered to his house, correctly addressed to him. He had ordered nothing. When he opened it, it contained three cameras costing about £500 each. A few hours later two people arrived asking him if he had had a parcel delivered in error that should have gone to them. He used to be an officer in the prison service and was well used to dodgy dealings of one sort or another. He replied quite truthfully that he hadn’t and they retired empty handed. He had a pretty good idea of where they lived and informed the relevant authorities. He contacted the company that had supplied the cameras and explained to them what had happened. Non of his credit cards or bank accounts were involved.
I don’t know the outcome of the tale but yours could be a similar trial operation.
I live about 20 miles north of Bristol so it may be a west country scam :)
