Normally, getting a piping-hot pizza from a local restaurant delivered to your door is a good thing, but not if you didn害羞草研究所檛 order it and don害羞草研究所檛 want to pay for it.

That害羞草研究所檚 what Chilliwack害羞草研究所檚 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 doesn害羞草研究所檛 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.

害羞草研究所淚 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,害羞草研究所� Gibbons recalled. 害羞草研究所淎nd I said, 害羞草研究所榊ou害羞草研究所檝e got to be kidding me.害羞草研究所櫤π卟菅芯克鶟

Gibbons asked the Dominos person for the phone number attached to the order, and bingo, it was the same mysterious 778 number she害羞草研究所檇 discovered on a previous order.

害羞草研究所淚 looked in my phone. I looked in my son害羞草研究所檚 phone. Nobody knows this phone number,害羞草研究所� she said.

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

害羞草研究所淎nd while I was on the phone with Jim害羞草研究所檚 Pizzeria, that phone number called in to make a $70 order to my address,害羞草研究所� 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.

害羞草研究所淚 was trying to wrack my brain to figure out which restaurants hadn害羞草研究所檛 come here yet,害羞草研究所� she said. 害羞草研究所淥ne of them was Demetre害羞草研究所檚 Pizza, and sure enough, just a couple days ago Demetre害羞草研究所檚 showed up at the door.

害羞草研究所淲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.

害羞草研究所楾hey said, 害羞草研究所業 know it害羞草研究所檚 a pain in the ass for you, but you害羞草研究所檙e not really the victim here,害羞草研究所� Gibbons said. 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 the restaurants that are losing the money, and if they want to call in a complaint, they can.害羞草研究所�

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

害羞草研究所淗onest to God, I don害羞草研究所檛 have enemies, so I don害羞草研究所檛 know why this is happening,害羞草研究所� she said. 害羞草研究所淚 thought about putting the phone number on Facebook because he may be ordering food to other addresses. But I have no idea.害羞草研究所�
