However, if you really do think it was tampered with, then report it to Royal Mail: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/j...diaId=15500193

Also, check this out: look for the word 'tampered'. http://www.channel4.com/culture/micr...hirdclass.html

I personally make a habit of shredding anything and everything with any personal details (including address!) - so those credit card offer leters, which usually are pre-filled with those details - also get shredded.

Just because I'm paranoid does not mean they're not out to get me.
I do shred everything, I'm very carefull. Although it would not help in this case, because it was tampered with before it even got delivered to me.

I think both ends were ripped and replaced back down, enough for someone to see there was not any account type info or cards inside. If it had been a letter from my own credit card company, the alarm bells would of rung, and I wouldn't of opened it any further.

I did have a problem a number of years ago whilst involved in a court case involving a postman, I had a few letters from ths solicitor and the insurance company tampered with. The post office were not keen to take the problem seriously, I guess it would of looked bad if an employee was proved guilty of such a thing.

I suppose it's similar to the situation where a woman I had a relationship with, worked for the callcentre of my bank and had obviously gained my account information. The bank fobbed me off, but she couldn't of known what she knew without access to my account statements, the paper copies were in my safe, she didnt know where to find the key and she was never left alone long enough in my house to search for it. The bank admitted my account was looked at by someone during the "Week" she worked at the callcentre, but said it was another temp and probably a mistake.
