An angry boyfriend got revenge on a 'creepy' Currys delivery driver who he claims began texting his pregnant fiancée after dropping off a washing machine - by posing as her to lead him on.
Kacey Wheeler was home alone when she took delivery of the new washing machine and dryer, and says one of the two workers 'couldn't stop staring at her.'
After he left, 21-year-old Kacey called her fiance Ryan Sagar, 22, to joke that the man was 'in love with her.'

However, to their horror, they say he then texted who he believed was Kacey within twenty minutes.
The washing machine was a present from Ryan's parents and they had added his phone to the delivery details rather than Kacey's.
And baffled and irritated Ryan quickly saw the chance to 'embarrass' the besotted driver who he has accused of showing 'utter disrespect.'
He began a flirty six-hour text exchange that has since been shared more than 2,500 times on Facebook.
Posing as his fiancée, who is six months pregnant, Ryan began chatting with the man who bragged about being a former prison 'bad boy' and suggested they should 'meet up to get this washer sorted'.
In the six-hour chat, electrician Ryan even asked the worker, who claimed to be 'chilling at Currys self-employed', to be his sugar daddy after he bragged about earning £36,000 per year.
In return, Ryan says he 'intimidated' the driver with kinky late-night messages during the exchange.
When the Currys worker tried to continue the chat the next day, Ryan abruptly cut him off saying 'f**k off now, I'm bored' and revealed he had actually been talking to Kacey's fiance for hours.
Despite the light-hearted prank, Ryan says he has been left angry by the delivery man's 'cheek', with Kacey now claiming she's afraid to accept deliveries without her fiance in the house.
Ryan has contacted Currys to complain and insists he'll never order from them ever again.
The firm, who are now investigating, say they are treating the matter 'very seriously.'
"There's my shoes in the house, Kacey's six months pregnant and she's got an engagement ring on. It's just utter disrespect" Ryan said:
"When I got the phone call and the text came through I was annoyed, but then I thought I'd make a laugh out of it.
"I thought 'I'm going to [pull] your leg'. My favourite bit was asking him to dress up in a Marvel costume and him replying that he's a prison boy. He was trying to big himself up.
"It's embarrassing. He deserves to have the mick taken out of him. From the texts you can tell he's a very strange guy.
"I thought I'd scared him off on the night,, but then when he messaged back the next day and I wasn't having a good day at work so I just told him to 'f*** off'.
"I'm happy he's wasted all that time. Every time I put something provocative, he'd have been sitting there on his couch sweating, thinking 'what do I do with his girl'. He thought he'd pulled.
"If it was me I'd have felt tiny. I hope he feels like an idiot. If he came back to the house he'd get it, but it's a shame for Kacey. You shouldn't be made uncomfortable by delivery drivers like that."
Kacey, from Bradford in West Yorkshire, said following the incident on Thursday (January 13): "As soon as I opened the door I saw one of the guys just didn't take his eyes off me. I didn't take it in a weird way at first and I thought it was funny. He was just staring at me.
"The other guy just came in, dropped the washer and then left, but the other guy didn't want to leave. He was lingering around telling me where to put it and opening draws.
"It was really creepy but at the time I just thought it was strange. I was winding Ryan up telling him the driver was in love with me, then I thought he was joking when he said he'd got texts from him.
"I can't believe he just took my number off the sheet and he knows where we live.
"Even if he'd have come into my house and asked for my number it wouldn't have been as weird.
"I thought that would have been the end of it after the driver left. Ryan thought it was hilarious when he got the texts. I kept ringing him asking for updates and when he was home we kept running over to the phone to check the replies.
"It wasn't the worst-case scenario, but the fact he was lingering around in the house and he'd gone out of his way to get my number, I just won't want to take deliveries in on my own."
Kacey's post on Facebook, which went viral, said said: "When Currys deliver my washer & dryer when I'm home alone, then get in the van and take what he thought was my number off the order sheet - and end up texting my boyfriend ffs."
Megan Bax commented: "When he gets bored at the end. Crying!"
Leigha Reilly Dunbar said: "I hope you reported him [laughing emoji]."
Amy Miller simply added: "This is gold!"
A Currys' spokesperson said: "We're taking the matter very seriously and are currently investigating it further.
"We will be contacting Mr Sagar and Miss Wheeler as part of our investigation."
