The delivery driver was working at that time, why wasn’t the receptionist!?

edit: Thanks to everyone who’s pointed out that this is a scam - and who gave advice/or worried about me. I was half asleep this morning, it didn’t click (though I did notice that the url wasn’t evri - I’m too used to vendors passing me over to third party websites). It doesn’t help that the evri helpline is robots only. No bank details lost though.

    Not the US, and not complaining about the country. I agree with @theskyisfalling the driver probably just posted that they had tried to meet quotas or whatever, but the business mechanism that tries to trick you into paying a small amount is a feature not a bug. Whatever way you look at it, it’s a dark pattern that skims money. [edit:spelling is hard]

      I suspect you’ve missed the point that it’s highly likely to be a scam and refused to pay, so task failed successfully I guess?

        Why would a scammer where the rest of the page looks so legit use such a nonsensical time? While I’m suspicious, I’m interested in hearing from OP if it turns out it isn’t a scam and the parcel company wants their 1.43.

          No idea - I’m pulling this out of my arse, but perhaps it was either the time on the scammer’s computer, the server time when it was generated, or the scammer put a sensible time in not realising it would adjust to a nonsensical GMT… time?
