Today I received a SIM card through the post. It's from the same phone company I use, and addressed to my flat. However, it's not my name on the envelope, and I'm not expecting a SIM.
I've lived here alone for several years and never received post for this name (I'd remember, it's a weird name).
Assumed a mix up at the phone company and called them. Turns out the SIM is for a new account so they have no contact details for the person, except for my address which they were given.
Why would someone do this? It's dodgy, isn't it?

It's dodgy. I had similar when bank cards started turning up for a bank I do not use - then PIN advice arrived, then 'Welcome to.....' etc. I got on to the bank concerned and incredibly they admitted to thinking it unusual but they sent them out anyway - a Debit card and a Credit card ffs. I still don't know what it was all about because they kept asking if I'd had any post go missing (errr - how would I know? 
) but I do think you should get in touch with whoever has issued it because they can put an alert on your name - I also reported to the Action Fraud Line because they too can flag it.

How do I do that fizzie ? Googling only brings up sites you have to sign up to with a "free trial" 
.
Sik of scummy people who rip others of and cause problems for nice normal law abiding non wankers like me. Grr.
