I'd have a guess it's a money laundering scam, to try and pay money into an account to 'clean' its origins etc, then shut it down. As they could probably then try and redirect mail to a different address once they have an account in your name. Unless you receive money in the post in cheques etc and they've intercepted that possibility from it being intimated in a letter someone has opened, and targeted you, to steal money that may then come in another similar looking letter. Dodgy postman etc. But I'd bet on the money laundering thing, is what's going on.
few months back , someone dumped several bags of rubbish outside our house . after I contacted the council we found at least 4 lots of separate bank accounts details in there !! needless to say identity theft was not on their minds . they did get caught though for dumping rubbish
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
