Wtf! Woman lying she is my neighbour saying she’ll call police if I dont open door!

Have you contacted 101 for advice? (sorry if you have already answered this - I checked but couldn't see)

I hear her in corridor get her phone out and say “hello yes police? I’d like to report a stolen parcel. Yes. Yes. Yes. Flat 5. Yes. Yes. this short white blonde woman and a white brunette middle aged overweight woman. And this white middle aged big tall guy with glasses. They sound Eastern European. They have 2 kids, one teenager living with them, family of 5. They all live in this flat. They need to be punished! Yes. Ok thank you! Thank you!

@Luxurylifequeen Not to alarm you OP but this call was to whomever she was casing your property for. She was confirming or giving a description of who lives in your flat to them. She didn't give the address and only confirmed the flat no because she didn't have to. They already knew where she was.

"They need to be punished" sounds like code for "go for it" or maybe the opposite. I'd be careful especially since you have kids. Especially if this has happened before. Maybe this second time was to confirm the first for them.

Oh wow! Attempted burglary entrance/ scam.
Report it to the mon emergency number or website.
Your police force needs to know this is going on.
The bath robe and towell are there to make you feel worried about her getting cold and make her look like a neighbour and no threat. It is clever! And fucking dangerous! It is likely this woman is not on her own. But that there was someone around just waiting for that door to open.

If someone described me as middle aged and overweight I'd be a tad pissed off and never speak to them again.

On our local facebook community page there have been a spate of these. Usually a white woman who is claiming anything- parcel, lost, wants to use a phone charger. There is a male hanging back. The alerts have come out on the lcoal pages and as far as i am aware nobody has opened the door, but it's not hard to imagine what would happen if they did - home invasion, pressure and coercian, theft etc.

You saw black people come out? I thought you said your son told you who lived there first not that you saw them come out first.

Why didn't you mention in the OP that this isn't the first time this has happened?

When you last did a thread on this, was it the same woman?

I hear her in corridor get her phone out and say “hello yes police? I’d like to report a stolen parcel. Yes. Yes. Yes. Flat 5. Yes. Yes. this short white blonde woman and a white brunette middle aged overweight woman. And this white middle aged big tall guy with glasses. They sound Eastern European.

look OP that conversation never happened, whoever that person was, they were faking it, they weren't talking to the police, and the police would not have the resource to respond to that.

just ignore, or take photos of her and you call the police next time. Surely you don't need MN to give you permission!

Understandable.

They're trying to get into your flat to steal things. It's probably because you're on the ground floor and possibly they think there are only females living there?
Get yourself a ring doorbell or similar, and if it happens again then phone the non-emergency police number and report. Chances are they're doing this to different people every day.

I would have said if you dont stop being deluded I will call the police myself

Is that a bit like how a missing suitcase is always full of designer clothes, expensive watch, camera and laptop.

It’s very strange that this has happened.

It’s very strange that this has happened twice.

It’s very strange that the second time it happened you forgot that the first time it had happened you had already checked that this person wasn’t your neighbour and your son had to remind you again.

It’s very strange that you explained the whole story in detail without mentioning in your opening post that the exact thing had also happened a couple of weeks ago.

Would you come up with something way more interesting twice without mentioning the other two times? 🙂

OP lets her into the house to search fpr the parcel and see it's not there. She either cases the home for future robbery or demands the value of the parcel before she will leave. Or both.

Seriously, who keeps 20,000 in cash in their house?!

YABU to bring race into the whole thing.

That made me question your motives in starting this thread.

The worst is what happened to me at another house. Two guys dressed as workmen said they were from "the gas" and needed to come in to check as a leak had been reported. I didnt believe them and called the police. It was a scam. That resulted in my taking my name off the public electoral role so there is just a gap at my address. You cannot see how many people live here.

Be very wary of people saying they are a utility worker (checking for leaks or water pressure), social services or the council. If I bother to answer the door at all I tell them they will have to write on letterhead requesting an interview and there will be a £50 fee for my services. If people call offering to do my drive/roof/etc I tell them its a rented house and the LL has their own team of tradesmen. its a sure fire way to be rid of cowboy workpeople without risking a lot of abuse. Last week there was a group of workpeople in an unmarked scruffy van washing roofs. I dont know what they were charging or whether they did a good job as I didnt answer the door when they knocked. I just saw them on doorbell camera.

I find this really alarming. Don't trust anyone so insistent that you have to open your door! I can just imagine she is the front and there's actually other people hiding around the corner.
As someone else said, I would make reports aware to the police - and get a camera! Hopefully deters them away, but you can also collect evidence if needs be.
