This is what's happenning to my wife:

She's been receiving a lot of junk mail lately. The address is right but the receipient is someone named "Wen Tang", so we thought this is just some kind of mistake so we just ignore those mails. But today there is a package from Vicotria's Secret (Jeans and clothes) that's sent to her work place, and the receipient is also "Wen Tang". Of course there's no one with that name in her company. This seems to be too much of a coincident.

Could someone be stealing her info? or could it be just this Wen Tang's honest mistake? Should I be cautious and what kind of action can we take?

Free undies??? sounds to fishy for me too.. Contact your bank CC's etc and see if anything is going on. Also call the big three credit report companies make sure there isnt anything there either.

If someone's stealing her identity wouldn't they want to ship to some other address instead? but yeah I think we need to pull a credit report first

credit report, ask cc companies for new cards they will be more than happy to give them to you, check bank statements and cc statements for suspicious items.

This happened to my dad just recently someone got his number and they were using his card for almost four months but never anything over 300 bucks so my dad never really noticed until they got stupid and started spending 100 bucks back to back at the same gas station day after day. I know I know my dad is stupid for not noticing but he's very busy still no excuse I know.

credit report now, credit fraud alert on her account tomorrow. Any of the big 3 will put a fraud alert on her credit for 90 days for free with no questions asked. It doesn't hurt your credit, it just notifies you when someone tries to open a line of credit on you.
