Description

On September 25, 2025, I received an unsolicited package delivered via USPS to my residence located at Houston, TX. The package contained approximately 50 pounds of Crayola colored pencils. No packaging slip was enclosed. The return address on the shipping label was: 635 Park Meadow Rd, Suite 106 Westerville, OH I contacted USPS regarding the sender information. USPS confirmed the package was first scanned in Columbus, Ohio, but they were unable to identify the actual sender. I performed an online search for the name “MV Warehouse,” which appeared on the shipping label, but no information was found. I then contacted a tenant adjacent to Suite 106 at the referenced address. That tenant reported Suite 106 had no visible business name, the door appeared locked with blinds drawn, and no one answered when they knocked. They further reported that multiple A***** packages were observed left outside the suite, addressed only to the suite number, with no recipient name. I contacted A***** directly with the shipping label information. A***** traced this package to an order placed through their platform. They advised it originated from a third-party seller and was linked to a newly created A***** account. A***** confirmed the following details of concern: An A***** account was created in August 2025 using my name address. The fraudulent account used an Outlook email address The phone number on the account was listed as 213-******** **** *****. The account was not linked in any way to my legitimate A***** account. A***** reported that this fraudulent account had placed only one fulfillment order—the Crayola shipment I received. A***** confirmed that the credit card used on the fraudulent account was not a card associated with my personal A***** account. I requested the fraudulent account be closed; however, the A***** representative stated they could not close it directly but would be forwarding it for internal investigation and flagging it as suspicious activity. Statement: I believe this delivery and fraudulent A***** account constitutes an attempt at identity theft by unknown individuals attempting to use my name and address in connection with fraudulent online activity. I did not open or authorize this A***** account, nor did I order or pay for these goods. I have never had an Outlook email account, and I do not recognize the phone number associated with the fraudulent account.
