Watch out for fake couriers

Glenn from Ngaio

Hi there

I was working from home earlier this week and a "courier" came to our back door (and not the front door) saying someone had requested a pick-up. He had a branded courier company hi-vis vest (which he could have found anywhere) on but (now that I think back on it) not a branded polo shirt or shorts.

I receive a lot of courier items so it didn't seem out of the ordinary, but thinking further it did seem a bit odd as he didn't have a hand-held device to scan whatever it is that he said he was picking up or even a clipboard. And if I am couriering something outward I usually drop it off at the depot, I've never called for a pick-up.

So, long story short, watch out for people posing as couriers who might be "casing the joint" or looking for an opportunistic "picking up" of whatever might be visible and lying around at your home.

Cheers, Glenn
