Am I being scammed? Super weird

loco_scolo

Something super weird has happened. A few weeks ago, after returning from a 3week holiday, my next door neighbour said that 3x strangers were trying to leave a note at my house. I have no letterbox so they left the note with the neighbour.

The note said "I think you found my phone. Please return it" and they left a number. I thought it was weird so I ignored it.

3 weeks later (just now), a pizza delivery guy arrives at my door with pizza and chips, which we didn't order. There was a note with the receipt saying "give back my iPhone 14".

I found the note and rang the number. A guy answered and said that Apple's "Find my Phone" said the phone was in my house. However, the feature was now saying the phone was in Russia, so they had accepted it was gone. He denied any knowledge of the pizza delivery.

What's the STORY?

No clue but did you eat the pizza and was there any novichok on it ?

I did NOT eat the pizza, thanks!!

I found out that this is some weird elaborate scam. I contacted the bar in Dublin, which the pizza recipe referred to, and the general manager there said he has heard a similar story once before, recently, and he advised I should report it to the guards.
