Spooky parcel, in my maiden name of 15 years gone. Can someone unpick the mystery?

And not my maiden name that I had before I got married either. The actual name I have on my birth certificate that I haven't seen written in over 15 years, and haven't seen anywhere beyond my birth cert.

I've seen that someone else in Mumsnet today has had something odd sent to them too and they're unaware yet who's sent it. I don't have Alexa though

The package contains a tube of conception plus (it's a lube to help TTC). No amazon history saying I've ordered it. And I don't really use amazon anyway.

For reasons I won't go into, we are sticking with just one DC sad

Is this some sort of cruel trick from someone we know, do you think?

This is a scam, but I can't remember how the scammers benefit. I think maybe they write a 5* review in your name?

Your mum's really got issues.

Why though? Why would she send that item, and using the wrong name?

No idea why she'd use that name. It's very bizzare and she doesn't hold that name herself anymore either.

I can see why she'd send the product. But it is in very poor form for a usual friend or family. It's my mum though so I'll let her off without bringinf drama into it. It also won't do anything because I don't have trouble conceiving ffs

Can't let it bother me otherwise our relationship with deteriorate and become toxic

My son was sent a beanbag panda toy. No clue. Never worked it out

How utterly insensitive if she knows you're stopping at one child! Bit cringy too sending lube to your daughter. Weird.

Send her some Caneston Thrush as a return gift.

Op I think that the relationship with your mum might be toxic already and you just don't realise it yet.

Milomonster · 13/04/2020 14:42

First thought was your parents. Very odd but glad you found out. This would freak me out.

Was it my imagination or did MNHQ pull this thread for a bit?

For some reason my mum sent me a card addressed to my facebook name which is not (never has been) my legal name.
