About 3 months ago, the bank phoned me to say that there were some unusual on-line transactions and could I confirm if they were mine. (NB: I called them back using the number on the back of my card.) Well, after we got to the third one, we both agreed that they weren't, and that my card details must have been stolen. They cancelled that card, issued me with a new one and that was that. At the time, I wondered if the details were stolen from a certain hotel after I'd had to book a room over the phone. Now, though, I'm wondering whether someone stole the credit card statement from the post. I normally check the account on-line, so wouldn't register if a statement was missing.
Really, it's not worth worrying about - it is just someone being opportunistic. Hopefully, they were stupid enough to use their real address for the second order from K&Co so will get caught.

Is that legal?
Of COURSE it's legal. It's also common practice - Look at Tony Blair and Cherie Booth/Cherie Blair. She has two 'surnames' and she's entitled to use them as long as she does not do so fraudently.
And, as it happens, the OP has pinned down the probable source of the 'breach' promptly.

Perhaps the OP has an "average" shoe size (4/5-ish) so it's pure coincidence?

Although the average shoe size is 6.0

Really? I would have thought 6 was larger than average for women. Every day's a school day. 0

Hi jacks back,
I'll have a look around the boards to see if there's any help to be found; in the meantime I'll shift your post into a thread of its own...
