Strange item sent to me

[*mrs.tiggy*]

I wonder if this has happened to anyone?

I received a bottle of clear, odourless fluid in a nail varnish bottle in the post today. I did not purchase it and the sender has not left any details on the product, no note inside the envelope or on the envelope.  It was a little freaky because they bothered to send it tracked.

I have previously been sent crushed polestyrene from China before (which I ignored) but today's delivery is not from overseas. 

Has anyone else experienced similiar and what did you do?

Two possible explanations.

It could be a 'brushing scam' - google for details.

Sometimes overseas sellers provide UK addresses (not their own) for returns so they don't have to pay for tracked postage back to China or wherever.

If you haven't ordered anything, and you are definitely not waiting for anything to arrive from an Ebay seller, I would bin it and forget about it.

Another scam is where sellers post a cheap little item instead of the larger, more expensive item you have bought.

When you try to claim non-delivery, the seller has tracking proving that a parcel was delivered to you.
