"have you opened them? Yes, no further details inside." What's in them? There must be a delivery note where you can call the company to a) find out and/or b) return them. | |||

"They are arriving in your name? Is there anyone else in the home who might have ordered you something? Have you got a birthday and people are sending you gifts? Have you opened them? " Yes they are arriving in my name, and no I checked, and nope. Literally I received the following: A sample piece of laminate flooring. Furniture floor pads. A nose ring. A decoration of some kind. Gift bags. A hair net. | |||

" Other than the contained item, only one had a note in it. These were the gift bags, there was a thank you for purchasing note, with the name of the accounts of the buyer and seller form ebay. The payment method (paypal - of which I don't have an account) The payment date, and then my name and address. | |||

" I've checked with all my local friends and they thought I was pulling their legs, I checked with my none local friends and they told me they don't even know my address and postcode. So I doubt it's a prank, I told them if it was they could tell me and I'd be fine with it, but if it goes on longer it'll just cause stress. | |||

" A few of my school mates used to just stick a stamp and address on anything and post it to each other to see if it would arrive. Pieces of toast, boxer shorts, you name it. | |||

They should, as I don't think there is a formal requirement for a paper/plastic envelope. | |||

"Inform both eBay and PayPal of these occurrences. They can investigate. " Informed paypal but they cannot do anything as I don't have an account. Just waiting to get in touch with ebay. | |||

"This happened to me kept receiving really random things no change on my accounts until 5 months later my bank account was drained! I got my money back eventually but the whole process took nearly 2 months to sort out so I'd advise you to contact your bank and ask them to contact you if any transactions happen that aren't like your usual! " Yep, explained to my bank what all this is. A friend advised me to get in touch with the non-emergency police. | |||

"This is identity fraud - report it to the police and tell your bank - you need help now. It's quite a well known way of starting the whole process of identity fraud .......... " In what way, could you explain please?? | |||

"This is identity fraud - report it to the police and tell your bank - you need help now. It's quite a well known way of starting the whole process of identity fraud .......... In what way, could you explain please??" A 3rd party has discovered his name and address. They have already set up accounts to purchase on eBay using PayPal. It's easy for the 3rd party to open a bank account or apply for a credit card using those details and nothing will be known about it until the bills start arriving. It's a well established technique sadly | |||

The non-emergency police were not much help, because I have lost no money so far they cannot treat it as identity theft or fraud. So I have to hope ebay (who wont be getting back to me whatever happens) find the user who has used my details to whatever extent and persecute them, before someone actually takes my money - then I can report it as fraud. | |||
