The Weirdest Thing Just Happened...

I just got a knock at my door. I open the door and it's a delivery guy with a microwave. Only problem is, we never ordered a microwave.

I told the delivery guy this and he said his work order said the microwave was to be delivered to my address. Then he told me the name on the order.

Turns out the older gentleman who lived here before us ordered it.

However...
...we've lived here for a year and a half now and were told the place was empty for 2 months before we moved in...
...so this guy moved out of this place almost 2 years ago and never bothered to update his address with this company?

Or he ordered it 2 years ago and they're just now getting around to delivering it?!

either that or a variation on the Paper Moon scam

In the film Paper Moon, a con man would find recent widows and claim to be a Bible salesman who sold their husbands a Bible before he died.

Exactly and this scammer was probably gambling that you would buy it anyway--at a high markup, needless to say.
