Parcel at door, requested £140. Aibu to think dodgy?

[DollyKoo]

Just opened the door to a man in a UPS uniform (couldn't see van). Mate behind not in uniform but poss id.

He was holding a parcel, said was cosmetics from Latvia had a different name but my address. Said it needed £140 to be delivered.

Do they really ask for money at the door? It seemed so weird, he pushed a bit but then smiled and said they'd send back when I insisted twice

Could be completely genuine

Could be. But generally UPS drivers are not on foot, with their mates, and only carrying one parcel that isnt addressed to the OP.... Its the adding up of various things that screams scam.

A scam. The van would have parked in front of your house & why was his mate with him? Plus it wasn't even addressed to you.
