A mum was left feeling uncomfortable after receiving an inappropriate text from a Currys delivery driver who dropped off her newest purchase at her front door.
Single mum Jessica Hinkley, 31, had ordered a brand new fridge/freezer from British electrical retailer Currys, and has claimed that her delivery driver made an inappropriate comment to her.
Jessica claims that driver Jordan "asked if she lived alone", which was creepy enough to begin with. She then claims that Jordan went on to send her inappropriate messages over text.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, Jessica said that the man, identified only as Jordan, asked her if she liked her new fridge, and if he could keep her phone number.
Jessica lives alone with her three-year-old son Oscar Hussain, also claims that Jordan seemed to go 'above and beyond' to help her, before sending her 'strange' texts.

She also said that driver Jordan offered to take a side panel off her kitchen with a screwdriver to help the new fridge fit in her kitchen.
Jessica, from Newsome, West Yorkshire, said: "t's like he's using Currys like Tinder. I thought he was helpful but after I got the message I thought it was a bit creepy he went out of his way to help me.
"I got the vibe that he took a liking to me. When they brought the fridge in, he was just smiling at me and ignoring his co-worker.
"He asked if I live here on my own and I thought that was a weird thing to ask. I told him 'no, with my son, but he's at his dad's'. It was strange.
"They put it in place and told me about it then the other guy left. It wouldn't fit right because the side panel was on the cupboard, so he asked for a screwdriver and said he'd take the panel off.
"I didn't think too much of it but when I saw the text message, it creeped me out because he's been in my house and knows where I live. He's now got my number and knows I live on my own as well.
"When I got the text, straight away I thought nobody else knew I'd had the fridge delivered so it had to be him sending the message."
When asked about his texts to Jessica, Jordan said: "I worked with someone different then. It was me messaging but it was a laugh. We were just messing about in the van as lads do.
"Nobody's saying that it's alright. It is what it is. I wouldn't do it again. I wasn't trying to make them uncomfortable."
Currys have confirmed that Jordan was working for a delivery partner contracted to drop off their products and they've sought to reassure customers drivers will face the sack if they breach their conduct rules.
A Currys spokesperson said: "We were very concerned to learn of the experiences of Ms Wheeler and Ms Hickling. We’re directly in contact with them and our immediate priority is to ensure their concerns are addressed.
"We recognise the privilege and responsibility that comes with delivering to our customers' homes and we expect all delivery crews, including our delivery partners, to treat our customers with the utmost respect.
"We launched an immediate investigation into the matter and can confirm the individual involved is no longer delivering for Currys or working for our delivery partner.
"We’re reinforcing our robust procedures with delivery partners to ensure the highest standards of conduct we expect are always met."
Jordan has also been accused of messaging a mum-to-be, Kacey Wheeler, after fiance Ryan pretended to be her over text, to catch him out.
Ryan's prank went viral on social media after the couple had a washing machine delivered to their home in Bradford, West Yorks.
Jordan has since claimed he was 'set up' by Kacey and says his messages to the customer 'destroyed his relationship' after his girlfriend found out what happened.
He claims Kacey asked if he'd return to fit the washer and dryer after he'd finished work.
Kacey, 21, has branded his excuse 'not true and disgusting' and explained Ryan's dad is a plumber so could fit the appliances for free.
Currys says its investigation into the incident confirmed Jordan breached their code of conduct and he's been sacked by their delivery partner.
Jordan said: "I've got a bird. My relationship's been destroyed over this. I've lost everything overnight.
"My girlfriend's seen it and obviously it's not good. I said it was a laugh with the lads in the van, but she's not forgiven me yet."
Kacey's 22-year-old boyfriend Ryan made headlines last week when his texts posing as Kacey went viral.
In the messages Jordan bragged about earning £36,000 and claimed he could be Kacey's sugar daddy, before Ryan revealed himself and complained to Currys.
The pregnant fiancée was shocked to hear Jordan's accusations and rubbished them as 'something he must be telling his girlfriend to win her back'.
Kacey, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, said: "That's insane. Oh my god. Obviously that's not true.
"Ryan's dad's a plumber and he's renovated the house from as old as it can be to brand new, so I wouldn't need him to do it.
"I can't believe it. He's disgusting, that guy. I can't believe he's got the cheek to sit and say that. Maybe this is what he's said to his girlfriend to win her back. I feel sorry for her.
"I literally had a beige jumper on and leggings, so I couldn't have been more dressed if I'd have tried. He's obviously a creep. I couldn't care less what he says.
"The fact he's gone into another girl's house and done the same thing, that just says it all."
