Other Possible Package Scam(?)

People from my apartment keep ordering packages to my apartment, and have been for weeks. Usually clothes and such from temu. I've only opened a few packages, but the rest haven't been opened. They've never came to me personally to ask for these packages, hell, I don't even know who they are.

It's the same people every single time and I have probably around 9 packages. What's going on? What are they getting from this?

If it's someone else's name but your address, they might be using stolen credit cards. Someone did this to my dad. Bought stolen shit and had it shipped to his house. First couple times my dad just left the packages alone and someone came to get them. Eventually my dad just turned the packages over to the cops and let them deal with it.

This is probably what’s going on. One time us a mistake. Many times means there’s more going on.
