A young man came to my door last week saying that the post office had accidentally taken my address, which is similar to his, and were about to deliver a parcel to my flat. He hung around until the postman appeared and collected the parcel, so I didn't get to see what it was. The next day I received a letter addressed to an unknown person and, feeling rather suspicious about the parcel, I opened it. It showed that someone had opened a bank account at my address. Looks like some kind of fraud, though I'm not sure exactly what. Has anyone had a similar experience, or any ideas what might be going on?
