USA. Someone sent me a debit card via FedEx that doesn’t belong to me. Weirded out and unsure about next steps.

I am concerned my address is being used by scammers and looking for advice on protective measures.

I received a FedEx express envelope containing a business debit card still attached to the « how to activate your card » letter. I happened to be outside when it was delivered and so I took it in immediately. If there was someone following the truck, they did not have a chance.

The card is issued to the president of a large corporation. I called the card issuer to notify them. They said they don’t have a record of that account number, so it was probably an attempt to open a business account. The card and letter look very real.

The return address on the FedEx envelope is the same as the address associated with the debit card (on the activation letter). I know you can put down any return address you want with FedEx.

I am wondering why a scammer would send the debit card to my address if they already had it in hand.

They also used my nickname, that doesn’t appear anywhere official, and it was misspelled. It’s unnerving- not like they pulled my name out of a generic mailing list.

I appreciate any advice. Thank you.
