You don’t need ID to make a change addresses and hold anyone’s mail. Yeah were all so lucky. Thieves have a field day with only your name and address. The most important part is what to do next. Look at all your mail from the last 2 months and get anything possible via email. Look for check for changes to your mail and go to the post office weekly to see if anyone mysteriously changed your sh*t. Some never have the headsup that something was wrong and they were clueless till they checked that credit report..

If you do a “change of address form” and also a ” hold my mail” form with usps, who ever the target is will never get the letter that says their address was ever changed. No one has do this in person or show ID, just 2 form drops it in the mail and the mail being forwarded to a quiet PO BOX, it’s that simple. The scam might have already been done, even if they never stepped in your house, all they need is in your mail. Check for less mail the next months and change everything you can to online only. Limit the info the can receive.Sorry, Hope this helps.

In reply to Sally. Sally you prob work for the dark side (airbnb) or are almost scary innocent. You tried to blast this host, NOT because of what they found, but on waiting for a guest. You cant cancel folks because they are late, but have EVERY right to cancel under these circumstances. SALLY just give the guy your address so he can hang out by you instead, next time they are in town. ANYBODY can redirect your mail for 2 weeks BEFORE usps lets you know a change to your address has ever been made. This is no laughing matter what so ever,but it might be to you.

You waited for NINE hours?! Without contacting/texting guest? Your condescending tone is more indicative of a host from hell – get over yourself and do NOT host on rental platforms.
