Default Strange thing happened yesterday....

Go to check the post. Nothing as yet except a cheque on the mat made out for £280:00. Name has been left blank, dated yesterday signed by some guy I have never heard of!!

WTF?

Her "going" rate is only £100!

She did disappear for a long w/e a while ago!

Don't understand "Dunlop"?

No damage to my car.

Checked neighbours both sides, nothing to do with them.

Perhaps I should list it on ebay!

How can I possibly be done for fraud, when the "made out to" name is blank and it has been posted to my house?
