Victim is on autism spectrum and felt forced to pay; 'The delivery person insisted it was an order from his address and he had to pay for it'
A Sault woman is upset after her brother was forced to hand over payment at the front door of his home to a man claiming to be a beer delivery driver — even though he didn't order any beer.“I’m angry,” said Maia Stevenson, speaking to SooToday on Monday. “His first reaction was to say: 'Are you sure you have the right address?’ But the delivery person insisted it was an order from his address and he had to pay for it.
The incident happened on the afternoon of Friday, Aug. 19. Stevenson said Sault Police were notified. SooToday is not naming the company at this time because it's not clear if the person who targeted Stevenson's brother actually worked for the company, or pretended to be a driver in order to pull off a scam.
The driver, described by Stevenson’s brother as a Caucasian male, reportedly drove an unmarked silver and white car.
