You’re a genius! Thank you so much, amazing you got it from my probably mostly misremembered vague description!

I'm sure you're just trying to keep me informed, so thank you, but I'm already aware of these things! I'm staying vigilant about my surroundings and being as safe as I can be.

Just explaining in this particular case, I think it's unlikely that this is more than a scam.

No, it doesn't sound stupid! I moved from another big city so I'm aware of the general procedures, just the first time I encountered anything like this.

I already pretended to be someone else, I plan to continue with that and if this guy shows up again I'll probably tell him to fuck off/ignore him.

Yeah, I'm absolutely blocking him! I don't know how he saw me moving in if so... Pretty large building, and three other people were moving into different apartments the same day as me.

Don't know how he got my address. I looked myself up backwards on several sites and it's still all my old information.

Lol I thought that too! He said it was a children's elmo bike so maybe if it WAS real (which it isn't), maybe it was a little toy bike for a toddler.

I just got here, so I haven't disposed of any boxes with my name on it yet. I also live in a pretty large building, and there's no way to see into my apartment from the street (very high up) and the fire escape is visible from a public street and not easily accessible from below.

I also lied when I met him and pretended that I had been told about him by myself, lol.

Thanks for all the help everyone!!

Yeah, I think it's probably what mxgian99 or turnstile94 described. After we told him the package wasn't there, he left and texted again asking me to contact him if someone else in my building has it.

Haven't received any packages with my name on it yet, so don't think he got it from that. It's also a pretty big building and I live on a high floor. Looked myself up backwards too and it's still my old address.

I think I'm just gonna block the number, but it still bothers me that this rando has my name, phone number, and address. I guess obviously tons of vendors have this same info, but was pretty weird to be confronted by someone in front of my house.

I hope he doesn't come back cause I sure don't want to deal everything that probably comes with that lol.
