unexpected parcel

[icecreamcrackers]

Just been sent a new boxed pair of beats solo hd by yodel, I've not brought them but they are in my name and address. I don't have a clue who has sent them as no invoice in the package. What am I supposed to do with them now?

Could it be a gift from someone?

or a competition prize?

[icecreamcrackers]

Its not a gift because I got married in July and everyone uses my married name. It could be a competition prize I suppose but if I can't track it down what it my legal obligation to look after them before disposal.

I would be suspicious of this.
I am sure I have heard of this sort of thing being a prelude to identity theft.
Could you contact your local police and ask?

Legally, you need to keep it safe and in good condition for six years and then you can sell it.

If you google "unexpected parcel", loads of similar warnings come up.

Check your credit card - I had this and someone had ordered it fraudulantly, I assume with an aim to intercept the parcel.
