W-2’s for other individuals sent to my house (and potential fraud?)

So I regularly get mail from an individual who used to live in my home. It’s mostly been junk mail and I just throw it away. I’m not sure what my obligation is to do with that mail, tbh so that’s one question I have.
Today, though, I received what appears to be four different W-2’s. One of which, is to the individual who I regularly get mail for and used to live here; the other 3 are 3 different individuals with the same company. So my question for this is two fold:
1) what do I do with the W-2’s?
2) Do I contact the company and let them know about a potential payroll fraud scheme? I mean 4 different individuals, all within the same company, all with the same address. 3 of which I’ve never gotten mail for in the 6+ months of living here. I bought the home off of a couple who rented it out for a few years, so it’s possible that 4 roommates lived here and worked at the same company and never updated their address - but it seems unlikely given I haven’t ever received anything for the other 3.

Draw a line through the receiving address, but not the name. Write return to sender, no forwarding address on the envelope. Drop back off at post office.

If I remember right, federal law requires that you circle the address and write "not at this address" on the envelope and then place it back in the mailbox. look it up to be sure...

How many people would cut Chicken at check for 2.3 mil?
Would someone pay say 7 mil for TD?

Not necessarily a payroll fraud scheme. Could be a dumbass clerk who wasn't paying attention and entered the wrong addresses because she was posting on Facebook.

I always just write not at this address and put it back in the mailbox
I wouldn’t contact the company. Not your circus, not your monkeys
