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

Beat them at their own game; say they've got one of your parcels too. Give them "their" parcel, but it's a box containing a mouldy kipper. Start crying and saying your parcels keep getting stolen too, and you suspect it's that stray cat with a dead eye from across the way... I'd have fun with it, personally, until they realise that either their scam isn't working, or that they're a ghost and need to move on from this earthly plane.

Report to police. Do you have ring doorbell of her.

How did she, and the first person, get into the building?

And if she doesn’t live in the building was she really walking around looking like she had just got out of the bath?

How many upstairs neighbours have you got?

My neighbours (not immediate neighbours but in my street) knocked my door to ask for their parcel. I hadn't had anything but their app showed a photo of my door (closed) the time of "delivery" and a man's name that had supposedly received it. I was very confused as I had been in at that time and no one had knocked. No one was home with me.

I began to wonder whether someone passing had scammed receiving it or the delivery driver had pinched it but then they found it on another neighbours doorstep. It was only cat food not an iPhone. No idea why the photo was of my door when it wasn't here. Very weird.

First of all when you ring any emergency number the operator asks: which service? The woman sounds seriously unwell and weird. Do not open the door. I’d ring 101 or speak to a Bobby on the beat to ascertain their views on this. Could you get a ring door camera?

You're breathing out carbon dioxide all the time! It's carbon monoxide that's dangerous.

I know this thread might be bullshit, but tbh if the answers can help someone then I’ll be happy with that.

Nah it isnae

I detect a bit of Scottish scepticism if I'm nae mistaken.

Not sure why you’re being disbelieved, our Nextdoor page is full of videos of the same people trying to get people to open the door.

It’s good you didn’t open the door. Get a video doorbell with a storage card, you then don’t have to pay a monthly subscription fee to view who came to your door.

Weird you didnt mention the first instance in your post.

My father was an Irish Catholic and my husband studied politics. We used to be bothered by people like the Plymouth Brethen. One afternoon when mum and I were pottering round doing housework we kept being bothered. My husband came home and answered the door saying My father in law says you shouldn't discuss politics or religion with a stranger at the door. It's not rude but usually works. If anyone asks if I want a Bible I have one from my school. Yet dad was friends with our MP.

Also, these scammers / push in criminals rely on you not knowing your neighbours, so they target all sorts of neighbourhoods - yes, even ‘nice’ ones.

They’ll adapt their story to whatever you say to them. The only exception to this is the answer from you, ‘OK, I’m calling the police now’.

(If they say they need to point out to you where your roof is falling off, you should tell them thanks, you are ringing Fire & Rescue as an emergency, and the police as well.)

Never open the door.

And please do call the police if you can face it, so they can catch these awful people. Or report online anonymously via CrimeStoppers so the police analysts can build up a picture.

I'm actually sick of being drip fed.

I've seen this same post so many times now...

Again???

You need a chihuahua to answer the door with the more demonic the better; no one bothers trying to scam us, even the Jehovah's Witnesses gave up after 3 minutes of "Belezebub, no, now be quiet and let the nice man talk... Stop trying to bite the nice man Belezebub...."

His name is not Belezub, and his command for quiet is not be quiet; it is "shut the fuck up, you tiny demonic shitbag," or alternatively, "shhh," both work, but I prefer the former.

Yeah that's the reason
