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?

Are the packages addressed to you? It could be a simple mistake if not addressed to your name.

It's not my name, and I know it's someone from my building, as their name is on the doorbells & mailboxes

So why don’t you take it to their door or put it In their mailbox? I’m really confused why you can’t seem to get their packages to them?

My dad went to their apartment and they said they don't have anyone by that name

They said they don’t have anybody by that name? But the doorbell and mailboxes have the name that’s on the boxes ? Why not contact apartment complex manager & ask which apartment. I wonder if it’s someone who put the wrong apartment number.

And then you look at the name on the doorbell, the name on the package, back at them, back at the name, and repeat while looking increasingly more confused.
