With the recent exploding packages in Austin, TX, I am a bit wary of this package I received in the mail today.
I didn’t order anything. I even double checked my Amazon account (I RARELY order from anywhere else) and I am definitely sure I didn’t order anything. I read online that people in Pennsylvania have had weird packages from China but I’ve never received one before. Did I mention that it’s my correct name and address on it but the phone number is not?
I did have a weird credit card issue where someone charged my card through PayPal $1.95, returned it, and then charged $11.90 from PayPal (not my PayPal either) all on the same day. I cancelled that card and changed my PayPal password just in case. Maybe this package is whatever that charge was?
And what do I do with this package? I’m sure the post office doesn’t want me to bring it there in case it’s something dangerous. I don’t want it. Gone are the days that you can get a package in the mail and be happily surprised. Sad, isn’t it?
I read the package and it says plastic ring. HUH? What is a plastic ring (a kids toy maybe?) and why would I order it? I squeezed the package a little and whatever it is, it’s wrapped well in a bunch of bubble wrap.
This is just weird and so I thought I would ask. Any thoughts??? And what should I do with it? I am DEFINITELY not going to open it!
I started thinking about this About Me part of my blog. I'm going to expand it just a little from the 3 words I had before.
I am a single mom. I love my son. We have been alone since he was 6 months old. He really is my sun, moon, and stars. I am very proud of him.
I am an entrepreneur. I started my driving business 2 years ago. I don't want to work for a "boss" ever again. I always tell people they can do it too. In what I do, there is no competition because there are plenty of people that need rides (and maybe that would help get some of these bad drivers off the roads!). I work hard and have fun on my own time doing what I like to do.
I really am a Netflix addict. When I am not working or doing something with my son, I am watching Netflix. There are so many shows that I've never re-watched anything either. I will watch anything and make my own opinion.
I am opinionated. This blog is really just my opinions and my life. People don't have to agree with me all the time. I welcome discussions and other people's opinion whether they agree or not. I'm not petty, I'm not going to block anyone for not sharing my opinion, why do people freak out these days when someone doesn't share their opinion? Who cares?!? There is a reason we all are different.
There's a lot more about me but you'll have to read the blog to find out!

You shouldn’t open it! May be call the cops or something?
I think that’s what I read actually! I told my mom and she said she will take it to work and put it in their dumpster. Hopefully nothing else will happen!
I would check with all my friends, family and relatives first, just to make sure they didn’t send anything to surprise you, or something; before throwing it away.
No, this is from some weird company or person in China and doesn’t have anything to do with an old order. I haven’t ordered anything in a long time. But it’s gone, post office said to pitch it so I did. 😀
Thanks 😀

I don’t need a bomb squad and cops here would probably tell me to throw it away. Couldn’t hurt to call and ask though. Thanks!

Police say call the post office. Post office says call the police. How stupid is this.

It is a near-certainty that someone used your PayPal account to do what is called “brushing,” according to this Forbes article.

Basically–it really is harmless junk. To be safe, though, I would throw it into a large dumpster with a lid somewhere.
