Unwanted mail - wrong first name right surname
Options
Hi, My husband has been recieving various post and telephone calls lately which are adressed to someone with the same surname but a different forename. The mail is addressed to Suren, which is not his name, though it does start with the sme letter. We also recieved a phone call asking for Suren, from Ultralase, she said that they were just replying too Surens enquiry, when I said there was no Suren there they apologised but said sorry but he had made an enquiry, but they wouldn't bother us again. i'm just concerned that this may be some kind of Identity fraud or similar, or perhaps it's nothing more serious than chancers seeing Mr S.***** and they're just guessing at names. Just concerned as all of the mail including one from 'Switzerland Travel centre' say " Thanks for requesting your 2013 brochure" . Obviously he has never requested this info either in his name or Suren's. Could everyone give their opinion on whether or not this is anything to be concerned about.
