At 1am this morning, I heard my phone beeping, on checking this morning I saw it was a message from EVRI, telling my my courier, "Kevin", had been unable to deliver a parcel.

1.Our courier is not called Kevin
2.Our courier, knows to leave parcels in greenhouse or
with our obliging neighbours.
3.I have the EVRI app, where I can check.
4.4 I am not awaiting any deliveries.
5.EVRI, do not message at 1am, which alerted me to the
fact that the message was sent from another time zone.

My conclusion, this is a SCAM, but a pretty good one, if you are not savvy enough to realise.
In the past two days, I have had messages from Santander and UPS. The scammers are very busy!
Be aware!

Unfortunately I have to answer ‘number withheld’ calls as they are usually from the hospital. Something to do with how their switchboard works.

Had one a few weeks ago. Caller told me they were doing work in the area, "for the big 6 energy companies". Could I tell them who owned the property I live in? Needless to say I hung up!

I have a built in call blocker on my phone. Basically you dont get through unless you are on my "white" list which is friends family and business associates. If I find a strange number I google it. Most are scam numbers so I block them. Anything not on google (unknown mobile numbers) get blocked too.

If anyone needs to reach me to tell me Ive inherited money/won the lottery etc there is something called the post.
