You have their phone number...pull a Mitnick on their ass!
Open to recommendations
A what what?
I suppose it could be... But I assume they put their actual phone number for delivery purposes etc. I have their address too, and can see that there has been a failed attempt to deliver prior to me cancelling the delivery.
Give it a ring and find out if they ordered a tablet.
Lol thanks. A specced up Android tablet on my Google Store account. I assume it will have something to do with my previous thread, where I cleverly infected my PC and all my browsers subsequently stopped working. Because I had 2FA set up on my Google account, but would have been logged in at the time.

I thought he was stupid putting his mobile number down, but to buy the m3 version of a pixel slate is a whole new kind of stupid.

“Hi, I got your number from (insert most common woman’s name here), she said to keep it quiet but I’ve seen you and i wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t at least reach out, are you single?”
Go from there. A bit of mind *******

Start a PPI claim with one of those online jobbies and give that number. Those leeches NEVER stop calling

Ooooh this one! Also injury lawyers, LOTS of injury lawyers.
I texted them asking if they are expecting a delivery from the Google Store and made it all flowery saying that we attempted delivery yesterday etc. To see if anyone replies.
Just trying to find out if it is his or her number before doing anything with it...
If it is him I'll say I left it in their safe place, and then have some fun with that. Yes I left it in the brown bin. No I'm sure it was brown. Wait you do live at number 5 right? Oh number 3! Sorry its in number 5's bin. They say they haven't got a brown bin? What road name is it again? Oh sorry, I took it to - suchandsuch- Road and left it in their brown bin. You should go and check. What do you mean it's not in there?

It's highly unlikely they will do anything with it, investigating fraud is a low priority for most police forces these days.
If the credit card is stolen the chances are the mobile number is stolen as well but given how dumb criminals can be at times I guess there's a small chance the number is the preparatory.
