    All of a sudden my wife is getting packages from some unknown person which are supposed to be Ebay returns. On one occasion, she got a package full of very inexpensive wash cloths said to be returned to seller. My wife knows nothing of this, but the cloths are coming in handy for waxing pinballs!
    On another occasion from another person, she received a cheap digital wristwatch being returned because it was "defective". Of course, like the wash cloths, my wife never sold or bought this thing and doesn't know the person returning it.
    I can only assume this is some kind of scam but I can't for the life of me figure out who is scamming who! Anyone smarter than me know what's going on?

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Try contacting ebay.
    It could be a mistake. Maybe someone transposed some address info.
    On the other hand, I've heard of people sending goods (either expensive stuff or illicit stuff) to an alternate address so they can intercept or pick-up without any record of their name in the mix.

    My wife has a very unusual first name that absolutely no one would ever write by mistake! So far in the last week or so, we've had "returned" to us wash cloths and a cheap digital watch. Something very strange going on!
