Had a small package turn up today addressed to me. It’s a part of a car, a piece of plastic trim.
It is not something I have ordered, it is a company I have never dealt with before. This has caused me to panic because I immediately suspect credit card fraud.
The company in question looks like a one-man band, running an ebay shop. I won't mention them on here but I phoned the bloke up on his mobile (the business card was in the package), he was very polite but was not in the office and said I should raise the query with ebay.
The thing is although I once had an ebay account, I never used it and about a year ago I closed it down. I never closed the Paypal account down but there’s never been any money put in it. In fact I have this evening closed the Paypal account down as well.
I have two credit card and three bank accounts, I have looked on-line and also phoned up their Call Centres and there is no suspicious activity on anything. The parcel arrived only today Second class, the man at the parts company said the order would have gone through Monday or Tuesday but nothing has shown up yet.
Obviously I will keep an eye on my accounts but this all seems very strange. If someone had wanted to clone my card then why would they order parts to be delivered to me?
I am thinking there has been some computer problem, maybe ebay still have my name and address buried in their system even though my account has been deleted for over a year. But my Paypal account never had any money in it.
Can anyone suggest anything as I’m worried about it all.
Thanks
Matt
