Land Transaction Return not in my name?

If it's a scam I'm not sure how it works - anyone "stealing" your property is unlikely to be daft enough to do it in a way which results in HMRC writing a letter to your address. I suspect it's just somebody's c0ck-up with the address.

Yea I saw that the company is based in Mauritius and I've never heard of them before but when I rang the HMRC they said it was my name! The only thing is the price of the stamp duty suggests that the property costs £325k and my husband had bought the property for £137k and is now currently worth £171k so I have no idea how they got that price of the stamp duty!

Most likely it is the proverbial, but suppose it is a scam, eg they've sold it to someone else, whose paid them, and thinks (bizarrely) they now own OPs house? I've seen this sort of thing reported, though usually its a tenant who can show people round the property and pretend to be the owner.
