Hi,
Im from Europe and would really appreciate if someone could help me/give advice on my issue.
I visited the States almost 10 years ago. While in the States, a friend of a friend from my country called me and asked me for a favor. He would order some electronics and stuff using a credit card and asked me if he could have the goods shipped to my address in the states where I was staying and if I could take the goods and bring them back to our country for him. It did not raise any suspicion so I agreed. The goods where delivered to my name and address in the States I provided him with. I brought the goods back and handed them over to him.
Only years later I found out from his exgirlfriend that he made orders using stolen credit cards which he got while staying in the States. I had no clue whotsoever when agreeing to have to goods shipped to my address in the States.
The thing is Im planning to visit the States this summer and I am kind of worried I could face some problems at the airport customs or with the authorities since the goods were delivered to my name.
I would really appreciate any kind of advice. What are they checking at the airport? Is there a way to find out if my name is listed in some kind of registry?
Thanks a lot in advance...
