Is this a police job? Threatened by Vinted seller

Most definitely,inform the police,don't hesitate.This is serious threatening behaviour.

She's spoken to the police.

Go down to your local police station and report it. That is a clear threat.

Wrong post!

The police can’t tell if it’s a real gun or not. It’s a firearm until proven otherwise! And they can only do that by making it safe and sending it away to see if it a viably shoot a bullet or not. I know, I’m a police officer!! I don’t know what area you live or which police service covers you but this is 🐂 💩!

Did you keep the packaging? Do not throw anything away, it could have fingerprints and/or DNA on it. Every contact leaves a trace. They may also be able to trace which inpost box it was sent from by the label. Have they been round yet?

With inpost, it depends on whether or not the seller had to print a label. I’ve sent things with Inpost where I’ve scanned the QR code and put the parcel in the box so I don’t know the buyers address.

You do realise that water (yes, even UK tap water) can contain a certain bacteria that can eat away at your cornea and cause blindness, right? This is why contact lenses are to be washed and sterilised in specific solution and NOT water. Water is not safe for your eyeballs, on the regular. If you want to ‘clean your eyes’ I’d suggest doing an eye bath with proper eye care solution now and again. Stop opening your eyes in the shower!!

Oh ok, I thought I post was lockers only. I always get mine delivered to lockers as it saves the parcel being left on my doorstep in view

I know it’s late, but I expect he’s miles away and isn’t going to come anywhere near your house… if he can afford fuel to pay you a visit then he wouldn’t be so pissed about the refund!……
Did you get a refund in full? And get to keep the item?
I’m glad vinted blocked him… I’ve looked at buying jellycats on vinted and messaged lots of sellers asking if they’re genuine and had no response. So many scammers out there!!
His threats were to bully you into excepting the £20, his tactic probably has worked in the past and buyers have been too scared to report him!

As neighbourhood watch, I'd say it's an immediate risk. He's said he has your address. So, 999.

Hope you have seen the police by now OP

Inpost delivers to lockers or homes. Homes would have the address on.

are you ok? Hope the police helped?

Why would an I post parcel have your address on?

Looks like he’s deleted his account now. I really hope they can help - he’s not the brightest, making threats like that online. And why is he demanding money from you???

Goodness that sounds awful - empty threats I’m sure, he might be 200 miles away for all you know

This is a direct threat - 999

100% call the police. Absolutely no question. You have the evidence, he’s made a threat. What a horrible experience for you. I don’t think for a moment that you are genuinely at risk ( as it would draw more attention to what is probably a very lucrative side line) but non the less he needs to be stopped. Hope you are ok.

999 they will decide if its an emergency or not. My son is a call handler and they get calls on trivial things. Yours is not trivial.

Er yes please call the police. As said before he is holding a weapon. Don't let the police fob you off either

Wrong thread @KLD89. I think I know the one you were responding to; I can’t bear to read it as I know it’ll upset me x

Report him to the police first. Take advice from them but I would report him to Vinted he and Trading Standards too.

Awful. Do let us know what the police say/do?

Omfg really yes police matter do it now!!!!! Can I just ask i simple question to this whole terrible thing why didn't u state there was a issue with item then the payment wouldn't have been sent x good luck hope this piece of shit gets it

Sorry I clicked your being unreasonable when it was your not being unreasonable

What an absolute bellend, I hope you are ok now ♥️
