I just talked with DHL.  Somebody called them and changed the address of my shipment to:

1826 W Pearce Blvd STE 104
Wentzvill, MO 63385


Because I caught this in time the package will be delivered to me.

The reason I figured this out is that when I looked at the tracking web site the last two entries were:

Quote
11 Recipient moved BOSTON, MA - USA  07:52  
10 Arrived at Delivery Facility in BOSTON - USA BOSTON, MA - USA  05:54

So, the track number is part of your privacy. Never post it publicly.

I didn't post my tracking number.  But I did post that I have a tracking number and sgravina is my real name.

I wouldn't have even been talking about my shipment on this forum if Yufi would have answered any of my questions.  He still hasn't acknowledge that my unit has been built or shipped.

Wow - you might consider arranging to pick up the package at your local distribution center if possible. I once accidentally shipped something to my old address. I ended up waiting in front of my old address and signing for it out front on the sidewalk - UPS guy didn't even ask for ID. I could easily have been some random person intercepting the shipment.

Someone in Missouri should go to that address with a big box of dog shit and leave it at the doorstep.

Once your shipment arrives, I would consider getting this attempted theft reported and investigated.
Someone brazen enough to do this once will try it again.

You should call your local police and the FBI. This is federal felony, across state lines mail fraud. DHL can see who changed the address. they keep records.

They changed the delivery address without knowing the original shipment address nor the tracking number, only knowing that your real name is "sgravina"??

Something else has to be at work here. how could they possibly change your delivery address without all of your information?

Has your computer been compromised, have you posted alot of personal information online, do you think they doxxed you and maybe tried this way?

Somethin sinister is afoot!

Well, I made a quick search and its very easy to find all Sam's information online, including address.

EDIT: I hope customers will get tracking numbers for next batches. That would help monitoring the package from the very beginning, thus avoiding this awful situation.

Geez man that sucks. Glad to hear you found out about the attempted theft.

As for vengeance Smiley  I doubt there is much to be done at this point. The dude who tried to take it most likely will read this thread.

If it was me I would have not made this thread and instead got the police or a vigilante involved! That is really bullshit and whoever pulls scams like that should be punished.

.SUGAR.

I'm already exposed.  I posted here to warn others of this type of scam.  If I hadn't caught this fraud my computer would be on a plane to Missouri now.  This type of scam was very easy to implement but was not successful.  I gave the police all of the information.
