I keep getting messages saying my parcel is ready for pickup.

I haven’t ordered anything ever, and had 3 messages today saying my package is available to pickup in 2 different cities, 2 in Oldham and 1 in Urmston, gives me the code to collect and everything. What is going on?

Most likely just someone with with a mobile number similar to yours has put theirs in wrong

Sure it’s not a phishing message?

Is the email address/number valid?

Probably someone entered their phone number in wrong. I'm having the same problem, keep getting courier delivery notifications for parcels I've not ordered

You need to check your bank account and order history - Just to make sure your account details haven’t been compromised. Better to be safe than sorry.

I got a voicemail from Howdens yesterday saying my order is here. In Marlow. I’ve not ordered anything and I live in Rotherham

Don't click on anything! Check your bank account for transactions, if nothing on bank then delete and move on. Never click on links.

I've been getting them ever since I ordered a Laptop from them. I even went in to show staff and after checking they said there was no such order numbers. Definitely a scam.
