💨 Abstract

The author recounts their experience with identity fraud, where a stranger was seen tampering with mailboxes in their housing block. Despite reporting to various agencies, including the police and Action Fraud, no active investigation was initiated due to the lack of financial loss. The fraudster used bin liners to steal mail, applying for a credit card in the author's name. Neighbors reported similar incidents, but the authorities have not taken action.
