In our Money Secrets series, we ask people to confess their furtive money-related secrets which they are hiding from loved ones or that people do not know the full extent about.
Today, we speak to Megan, whose name we have changed to protect her identity. She reveals how she has been receiving six bottles of wine to her home address every month for over two years from a wine subscription company – but she has never ordered it or paid a penny for it.
When a box of wine was first delivered to my home address just over two years ago, I initially thought the deliveryman was going to ask me to take it in for a neighbour.
But when I looked at the address label, it was definitely my address, and although it didn’t state a full name, it simply said Ms and then had a variation of my surname, even though it wasn’t the correct spelling. So I thought it must be for me after all.
Opening the box, I found six bottles of good quality wine – a mixture of whites and reds. I looked for paperwork to see where it had come from, but all I found was a piece of paper welcoming me to my wine subscription. But I knew I definitely hadn’t signed up for one.
