An object delivery authentication system, comprising

• an authentication module and an authentication datastore in communication with the authentication module, the authentication module comprising a hardware processor configured to be linked in communication with an object receiver, the authentication module operable to (i) receive from the object receiver over at least one of a call network and an additional network an authentication request for one or more of an object and an object delivery information package received from an object deliverer and (ii) authenticate the object and/or the received object delivery information package using object information and object deliverer identity information,
• wherein the authentication module is further operable to compare one or more entries in the authentication datastore with at least one of (i) the object deliverer identity information and (ii) the object information,
• associate a secret with the object delivery information, wherein the secret comprises at least one secret question and a corresponding at least one secret answer;
• send the at least one secret question to the object deliverer;
• receive at least one answer to the at least one secret question from the object deliverer;
• and
• determine whether the object and/or the object delivery information package is or is not authentic, based on whether the at least one answer from the object deliverer matches the at least one secret answer, and whether a number of correct secret answers provided are equal to or greater than a pre-selected minimum number;
