Normally, getting a piping-hot pizza from a local restaurant delivered to your door is a good thing, but not if you didnB次元官网网址檛 order it and donB次元官网网址檛 want to pay for it.

ThatB次元官网网址檚 what ChilliwackB次元官网网址檚 Amber Gibbons has been dealing with over the last month as a parade of unwanted food orders have shown up at her house.

The orders are all made from a 778 phone number that she doesnB次元官网网址檛 recognize, and this person has sent just about every restaurant in town to her address.

It started a month ago.

While Gibbons and her husband were at work, two restaurants tried to deliver food. Gibbons was home a couple nights later when a pizza showed up. Three minutes after that person left, another delivery arrived.

B次元官网网址淚 heard a knock on my door and thought it was the same guy, so I went all the way downstairs and sure enough it was a different guy, from Dominos,B次元官网网址� Gibbons recalled. B次元官网网址淎nd I said, B次元官网网址榊ouB次元官网网址檝e got to be kidding me.B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址�

Gibbons asked the Dominos person for the phone number attached to the order, and bingo, it was the same mysterious 778 number sheB次元官网网址檇 discovered on a previous order.

B次元官网网址淚 looked in my phone. I looked in my sonB次元官网网址檚 phone. Nobody knows this phone number,B次元官网网址� she said.

Gibbons started dialing Chilliwack restaurants, asking them to not take orders from that number.

B次元官网网址淎nd while I was on the phone with JimB次元官网网址檚 Pizzeria, that phone number called in to make a $70 order to my address,B次元官网网址� Gibbons said.

All of the orders have been in the $70 to $100 range and on one busy night there were four delivery people from four different restaurants knocking on her door.

B次元官网网址淚 was trying to wrack my brain to figure out which restaurants hadnB次元官网网址檛 come here yet,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淥ne of them was DemetreB次元官网网址檚 Pizza, and sure enough, just a couple days ago DemetreB次元官网网址檚 showed up at the door.

B次元官网网址淲hoever it is is smart enough to not order from Skip the Dishes or something where you have to pay ahead of time. They are literally ordering from every restaurant in Chilliwack where you can pay at the door.

It got to the point where Gibbons phoned the RCMP.

B次元官网网址楾hey said, B次元官网网址業 know itB次元官网网址檚 a pain in the ass for you, but youB次元官网网址檙e not really the victim here,B次元官网网址� Gibbons said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 the restaurants that are losing the money, and if they want to call in a complaint, they can.B次元官网网址�

A couple restaurants told Gibbons they will do exactly that, and she is wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem.

B次元官网网址淗onest to God, I donB次元官网网址檛 have enemies, so I donB次元官网网址檛 know why this is happening,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淚 thought about putting the phone number on Facebook because he may be ordering food to other addresses. But I have no idea.B次元官网网址�
