Your support makes all the difference.A Domino's delivery driver has been fired after he sent "sinister messages" to a woman he delivered pizza to.
The driver was dismissed after he sent "sinister and freaky" messages to Imogen Groome, 22, after delivering a pizza to her house on Friday night.
Writing for student newspaper The Tab, Ms Groome explained how she grew concerned when the driver called her a number of times before the delivery to try and pinpoint her address, but was "hysterically laughing" down the phone.
Almost immediately after delivering the pizza, she got a text from him which said: "You are so beautiful, God bless you."
The messages continued for three days, until Dominos began investigating the driver's conduct.
Ms Groome told the Mirror: "I found it a bit odd and funny at the time.
"But actually It's really sinister and freaky and I am really disturbed by what happened.
"It has made me not want to use Dominos delivery any more."
Nina Arnott, spokesperson for Domino's Pizza Group said: "We are very sorry to hear about Imogen's experience, which was wholly unacceptable.
"Following an investigation, the driver has been dismissed with immediate effect.
"We are in touch with Imogen to help put this right."
