A woman contacted the police after receiving a cryptic-coded message to her home address in Sheffield – she has no idea what it means and was surprised to learn others have been receiving them too
Everyone enjoys receiving a surprise in the post – provided it’s not another bill. But a woman from Sheffield has been left feeling ‘creeped out’ after a stranger sent her a cryptic message that looks like a ‘cheat code for life’.
Taking to Reddit, a user explained how his friend received a bizarre letter through her door, with her home address written on it but not her name. He said: “Someone I know got sent this through the post addressed to her house but no name. She’s more than a bit creeped out. She reported it [to the police]. It was new for them as well. I think it’s a case of ‘hope this is the first and last of it’.”
The bizarre code is written across the front and back of the envelope and continues on a piece of paper inside.
It appears to be a string of unrelated words with numbers and symbols thrown in at random.
