Woman admits fleecing shopping network of more than $412,000

IANAL, but I am from the US

Here basically it goes like this: you are allowed to keep an item delivered to you if you did not order it. Asking for payment for an unrequested item is a form of mail fraud. This person did order the items, and then canceled the order, so its a grey area. Its very likely that a judge will side for QVC since she showed intent by doing it multiple times. Now if her neighbor ordered and canceled, had her address listed for delivery, and never told her, QVC would be in trouble, and the neighbor might be too, but QVC could make no claims against the person who accepted the packages.
