It is not mail fraude, it is a stupid thing to do. A very disturbed person would do such a thing.Unless her or she does not order any products and has them delivered to your house, there really is nothing wrong. It is a nuisance yes I admit, but I never had it happen to me yet. Some people like to play pranks with it on other people, purposely order catalogues,or ask for estimates for all sorts. A friend of mine kept receiving estimates from an On Line School. Somebody hat put him on a list of people who would be interested in receiving an offer. They kept calling him 3 times before he had his name removed from the list. Anonymous can have responsible in case only the address has been used without a so much as a name given.
Actually some people will use your address for illegal purposes and if you feel that this is taking place then you can contact the united states postal inspection service. They are federal agents who's main purpose is to prevent fraud against the postal system and they will investigate and if need be arrest and prosecute in federal court the person who is doing such.

∙ 10y agoFraud is a type of theft. The mail's contents might be some instruction to carry out an action that helps the sender defraud you (unsolicited pseudo-prizes, the Nigerian Scam, that sort of thing). Otherwise it's probably an error in the sender's database: I've received a lot of such post over the years. Just throw it away. Do not respond to it!

∙ 10y agoI would certainly regard this as an attempt to commit an offence of some sort. It may be a fraud against the recipient; it may be something else, but it's certainly wrong.
