True.

You could always retaliate by signing them up for a whole bunch of junk mail offers and the like...

But yeah...I'm starting to get worried about Identity Theft as well..my name is all over the net, and I get credit card offers and magazines in the mail...I always just throw them away though.

I shred everything with my name on it. My husband thinks I'm paranoid, but whatever.

MickeyD~ This is really a pain, I'm sure. But, your comment about them actually doing an address change at the post office brings to my mind that they may have more to gain than magazines. I am sure you receive credit card offers all of the time, as I do. Daily. So, I recommend {if you haven't yet} go to that post office with that address and put in your own change of address.

Also, isn't this a federal offense? If you were to report them {you have the address as well as your credit card bill and their info about where the magazine was going} I wonder what else they would find?

Perhaps teens that found a way to get free magazines or maybe something more.

Good luck on taking care of this mess.
