Any Amazon UK employees. Phone and car keys of employee in parcel by mistake

[Lexy70]

Hi Mumsnet,

Posting for traffic. I received a can of paint via Amazon yesterday, in it was an iPhone and a set of car/house keys.

I have managed to get the man's name and ID via the health info but. I've found him on IG and msg him but no reply.

I am keen to return this phone and set of keys to this young man.

Amazon has been useless.

Any tips for how I can contact/return these items.

Thankyou

Guessing you asked some security questions. Wondering if it's actually the person or a colleague stealing.

Fuck that. So you pay for it and he reverses charges or you’re out of pocket or he claims? Why would his colleague put it in by mistake, that’s bollcocks. I would not be giving him my address/bank details/paypal or anything.

he hasn't ASKED for the OP's details "or anything". OP is doing a good turn by returning the personal items to the owner. She is not asking him to pay for the postage.

Still waiting for someone to explain, in simple terms, how a "scam" of packaging someone's phone into a random Amazon package works. People cannot see the most obvious scams on the planet, like someone posting on here that they are down to the last 3p and how are they going to feed their sextuplets, or a facebook ad saying Chanel are getting rid of all their last season handbags for £10, but on the other hand are seeing scams where none exist?

People are nuts.

That’s great!

But TikTok have some fantastic deals! All you have to do is post your phone and keys to a stranger...

Yes googled the address, posted recorded delivery back to the very grateful young man. Have spoken to his dad on the phone too, all very relieved.

Thankyou everyone

He offered to pay postage and I have declined so no details exchanged on my side

Great news! Well done!

Thank you for this post, we sometimes need a reminder that we need to extend kindness to one another.

Well done Op.
The only way I could have seen it being a scam is if the memory stick had some dodgy software on it.
Round here the police have been warning people not to put any memory sticks they find into their computers.

Are you sure it was his Dad, not his so called mate putting on a different voice to carry on the scam 😂

Out of interest did he say if it happened in the actual warehouse? I don't quite understand what the friend did

I love a happy ending :)

@DustyDood your post didn’t get anywhere near the level of appreciation it deserved 😂

Or is it??? 🇳🇬 😜
