Currys driver sends 'creepy' texts to customer - but it's her boyfriend's phone

A "creepy" Currys driver has been left red-faced, after sending a number of flirty messages to a customer - only to discover he was actually messaging her boyfriend.

Kacey Wheeler recently had a washing machine delivered from the electrical retailer and claims the delivery man "couldn't stop staring at her when doing the drop off in Bradford last week.

The 21-year-old even called her fiance Ryan Sager shortly afterwards to joke the man, known only as Jordan, was "in love with her," but they were both gobsmacked when he texted her 20 minutes later.

What Jordan didn't know, however, was that the mobile number on the order sheet actually belonged to Ryan - as the washing machine had been a gift from his parents.

"As soon as I opened the door I saw one of the guys just didn't take his eyes off me. I didn't take it in a weird way at first and I thought it was funny. He was just staring at me," Kacey said.

"The other guy just came in, dropped the washer and then left, but the other guy didn't want to leave. He was lingering around telling me where to put it and opening draws.

"It was really creepy but at the time I just thought it was strange. I was winding Ryan up telling him the driver was in love with me, then I thought he was joking when he said he'd got texts from him.

"I can't believe he just took the number off the sheet and he knows where we live. Even if he'd have come into my house and asked for my number it wouldn't have been as weird."

Not happy at the driver's advances, Ryan decided to embarrass Jordan by engaging in a flirty six-hour text exchange, which he later shared to Facebook.

Posing as his six-months-pregnant fiancee, Ryan began chatting with Jordan who bragged about being a former prison "bad boy" and cheekily suggested they should "meet up to get this washer sorted."

In the six-hour chat Ryan, 22, even asked Jordan, who claimed to be chilling at "Currys self-employed," to be his sugar daddy after he bragged about earning £36,000 per year.

Electrician Ryan believes he 'intimidated' the delivery worker with his late-night request of a threesome and description of naughty bedroom kinks - including a request he dress up as a Marvel superhero.

When the Currys driver tried to continue the chat the next day, Ryan abruptly cut him off saying, "f*** off now, I'm bored," before revealing Jordan had actually been talking to Kacey's fiance for hours.

Despite the light-hearted prank to "waste Jordan's time," Ryan has been angered by the delivery man's "cheek" and Kacey now says she's afraid to accept deliveries without her fiance in the house.

Ryan said: "There's my shoes in the house, Kacey's six months pregnant and she's got an engagement ring on. It's just utter disrespect.

"When I got the phone call and the text came through I was annoyed, but then I thought I'd make a laugh out of it.

"I thought 'I'm going to [pull] your leg'. My favourite bit was asking him to dress up in a Marvel costume and him replying that he's a prison boy. He was trying to big himself up.

"It's embarrassing. He deserves to have the mick taken out of him. From the texts you can tell he's a very strange guy.

"I thought I'd scared him off on the night, talking about a threesome, but then when he messaged back the next day and I wasn't having a good day at work so I just told him to f*** off.

"I'm happy he's wasted all that time. Every time I put something provocative, he'd have been sitting there on his couch sweating, thinking 'what do I do with his girl'. He thought he'd pulled.

"If it was me I'd have felt tiny. I hope he feels like an idiot. If he came back to the house he'd get it, but it's a shame for Kacey. You shouldn't be made uncomfortable by delivery drivers like that."

Currys said they were treating the matter 'very seriously' and confirmed they are currently investigating it.
