I agree with @theskyisfalling the driver probably just posted that they had tried to meet quotes or whatever, but the business mechanism that tries to trick you into paying a small amount is a feature not a bug. Whatever way you look at it, it’s a dark pattern that skims money.

I suspect you’ve missed the point that it’s highly likely to be a scam and refused to pay, so task failed successfully I guess?

Why would a scammer where the rest of the page looks so legit use such a nonsensical time? While I’m suspicious, I’m interested in hearing from OP if it turns out it isn’t a scam and the parcel company wants their 1.43.

No idea - I’m pulling this out of my arse, but perhaps it was either the time on the scammer’s computer, the server time when it was generated, or the scammer put a sensible time in not realising it would adjust to a nonsensical GMT… time?
