A 52-year-old Monroe man told police he received a small yellow envelope containing one pair of black women's stockings and a letter from Bill Me Later (a Paypal service) on March 29. However, the man says he did not apply for Paypal and Bill Me Later accounts or order the $6.99 pair of stockings.
The letter said there were recent attempts to use the Bill Me Later online credit card, but due to a problem with the information submitted, they were unable to authorize the services. There was also a credit of $3.01 on the account, according to police.
The identity theft victim contacted Bill Me Later by phone and was advised to call his local police department to document the incident.
