Mickey Kupchyk is getting swamped with parcels that he did not order.

He said he has received at least 80 at his Regina home already this year, but none has his name on them.

After doing some digging, the 68-year-old found it is all a part of a Facebook Marketplace scam.

Kupchyk said it has been happening since July 2022. The unsolicited parcels show up almost every other week from across the country, but mostly B.C., Ontario and Quebec. They contain a variety of contents, from expensive ski boots to items of clothing, but always also have a gift card included.
