    Hello fellow EG people.

    Just a bit of advice required please..!

    Over the past 3 days I have had 3 letters turn up for someone that does not live in my house. Each one of these is from a mobile phone provider, O2, Tesco and Vodafone. Each one has a Pay as You Go sim inside and I have not requested any of these.

    I just phoned Tesco and they said there is nothing they can do and just to bin it, but I feel something untoward may be going on..!

    Any advise people..?

    Thanks.

    SJR.

    Put them back in post, write not known at this address on the envelope. There'll probably be a return address on the envelope so it'll get to them and hopefully they'll update their records.

    Sounds dangerous. I suggest you tape your gloves over your sleeves and then dispose of them in a safe manner.

    I have my pants tucked into my socks and have done the check for any dodgy looking 8 legged buggers and all seems safe. Just a collection of sim cards... o_O

    Some sim-fiend probably missed a digit in their address or something.

    Wouldn't bother sending them back, as if experience tells me anything, very few companies strike your address from their list.

    Save yourself the walk to the postbox and bin them.

    Or use them for crankers.

    Use the SIMs to carry on affairs with three different people and see how long you can prevent them from knowing about each other.

    You are being subconsciously trained to become a suicide bomber. the sim cards are for when they "wake" you. I'd give yourself up now if I were you.

    Go shove them in the letterbox of three neighbours that share 1 digit with your house number.

    PAYG sims are nothing to worry about. You can't do anything with them until they are activated.

    I have 3-4 kicking around myself in case I lose my phone.

    Keep em' or bin em'.

    Now about these spiders...

    Vodafone pestered my friend into accepting a "free" sim, she cancelled it afterwards but they still charged £10 extra a month to her account. She didn't realise for about 8 months but they would only refund 3 months in total.

    I don't think that's what's happening here by the way, just that free sims are not always free.

    How many SIMs can fit in the average human urethra? Why not find out?

    I hope you cut them in half first, otherwise keep an eye out for people going through your dustbins in the next week.

    Have you been, or do you ever intend to be, Ben Affleck working on new product developments for large, sinister multinationals? No? Chuck them back in the post then :D

    It's illegal to open mail not addressed to you. Hope you inserted a sim up your anus, you'll need it in prison.

    ED: The sim and the anus, for avoidance of doubt.

    You're a weird sock. Are you trying to build up a post count before spamming some URL's or just bored?

    Why haven't the Orange ones arrived yet?!

    Orange Wednesday would have been a great pre-slaughter you night out.
