Had a very suspicious day of activities. Firstly in the day I found out had lots of security breaches on my personal computer from accessing my virus check website that informed me. Then I received a call after 12:31 hours on 15/04/2026 caller hung up. I answered it thinking it was important but it was an unknown number of 01182 42 9789. Then at 17:00 hours I received an Unsolicited Delivery Package from Evri which I opened. It consisted of Baking Trays with no delivery note from a company assuming a company called Jake Teague, K75 - James Watts Drive, Rochdale, OL16 4UG. I rang Evri Company up to try to speak with them about this unwanted parcel which I did not order goods. The Package came with a label typed with my Full Name and Full Address and the Jake Teague address with a Barcode. So I think it is very coincidental to have all these problems today.
