I’m jumping at every strange noise, decided to also call the local police, and now am wondering what the actual scam is. Is it coincidence that the two trucks (UPS and FedEx) arrived within an hour of each other? Was someone planning to swoop by the front door and take packages? Might someone break in later?....Is any of this familiar. Where’s the gain?

SylviaCaras:

I don't see any gain ... Very strange. I think you did exactly the right thing, to call Amexco and the police. I wish you ALL THE BEST. However, I believe that was it ... no more problems.
But how did they get all information: Starwood AmEx number, name address and phone ....?
