The goods are bought using false payment details
The goods are shipped by the seller to you.
You forward them to the fraudster - in Eastern Europe at a guess.
When the seller finds out that the payment has bounced, all they have is the delivery address - your address.
You can read about the fraud here: https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/radD ... #AcceptJob
So you need to tell the authorities before the authorities call on you - you are a victim in this scam.
Assuming you are in the US you can file a complaint here: http://ehome.uspis.gov/fcsexternal/default.aspx
Make sure you give them your details and as much information about the fraud as you can.
If you are not in the US contact your local police/law enforcement.
Break off all communications with the fraudster - he can't hurt you, he is thousands of miles away
Keep all emails and any paperwork you have. Do not forward any more packages. If you are expecting to receive more do not accept them
REMEMBER - you are a victim in this case but do it now!
