I had five packages from Victoria’s Secret show up at my house, but I didn’t order them and don’t shop there. They have my name and address on them.
I opened one to see the invoice and called their customer service. They confirmed my address and name on the order but the phone number and email address didn’t match mine. They wouldn’t tell me what they were either since I couldn’t verify what they had on file. I opened a second package and it had the same phone number on the order, but a different email.
I didn’t open the other packages because they said I’d probably just need to take them back to a local store. I asked to speak with the fraud department because I was concerned that they had opened a Victoria’s Secret credit card in my name. The fraud people confirmed that all of the orders were placed with a Visa card. They told me the last 4 digits and it didn’t match any of my cards. They also said there were a lot of orders using that same phone number that was used on the orders that came to me.
I’ve ran a credit report and found nothing out of the ordinary and couldn’t find any charges on any of my accounts.
So what’s the end game here? What was the point of doing this if they didn’t get the merchandise? It was expensive stuff, like $60 and $80 bras for the ones I opened, and they were vastly different sizes.
The only thing that I could come up with was that maybe it was a stolen card and the person lives near me and didn’t want to ship to their own house, so they were hoping to swipe my mail before I checked it?
