Be AWARE.

We just had a call from an American sounding guy asking for us to pick up a package from Lincoln to Nottingham.

He said he would also need us to pay £100 at the UPS depot and he would re-imbrse us on delivery.

I told him this was not permitted as policy

I said we could collect the £100 from him in nottingham and the delivery charge.

He said he would get back to us.

And his number was witheld.

yep sounds dodgey to me!
We had a spate of these a while back,
Some chap wanted a BMW key picked from a dealer in Exeter and delivering to SE1,
Now don't get me wrong they are  good cars but they are hardly exotic, so I phoned the dealer just to make sure, it turns out that the dealer can cut and program a key ready to use and you need to pick it up in person with lots of photo ID etc I was told that they will not be releasing the key under any circumstances!!!
