Moral of the story - don’t buy more than one thing from @vinted at a time unless you’re there to receive the package and confirm what is in it. (I had several packages come at once and wasn’t there to open them.)
The fun continues. Someone rang me from a mobile number (?) and eventually asked me to download Lemfy (then told me what my password NEEDED to be) in order to return the money. I asked if I could phone @YodelOnline back and now they know nothing… is this FRAUD?!

My package sent by @YodelOnline is no where to be found. I complained, was sent the left picture. Not at #1, we drove through the nearby villages looking for that door and failed. Today I got an email saying it HAD been delivered - and the photo on the right. ANYONE SEEN IT?!

‘It's this depth that I’ve found most satisfying in Lotfi’s work, the way her past is inescapable and shapes her thinking about the present.' - D.A. Prince, The Friday Poem, on @marjorielotfi's debut The Wrong Person to Ask. A wonderful in-depth review. https://t.co/CdwpttgEW2
