I asked asurion why they would ship my phone to a person in Texas when the name doesn't match mine and I live in Wisconsin. They're response was that people have multiple people on their accounts who might not live with them.
Just a warning to others in that if the phone was shipped to you, Sprint's fraud department has your name and address. I am pursuing this with Sprint's fraud department and will press charges to whoever this person is. I have his name and address. My word of advise is this; these phones on ebay are part of an insurance scam and if you buy these phones, you are part of it also. I hope all other Sprint users who have been part of this fraud such as me also follow up with Sprint's fraud department to file charges.

Did you recently purchase a phone on eBay, or was this "claim" just out of the blue. If it was done on eBay, chances are that the person who the phone was shipped to, had/has no idea that it's a phone obtained VIA a claim.
If the claim was just done at random, then I dunno what to suggest, other than what you're already doing which is keeping on top of Sprint and/or Asurion.
I know that in my case, the person who got the phone that was claimed using my insurance, had no idea that it was obtained in that fashion, of course, we both purchased from the same person on eBay.
