Mystery Package
Jan 25, 2021 13:31:34 #
I've been tracking a package since Dec 15. It arrived in CA via International Bridge. Then it continued in CA via Pitney Bowes. I received it today, and I have no idea what it is. I have no record of buying anything around that time. It's a soft pink cloth measuring about 7" square. I was concerned about those black "things" on the edge. Bugs? Bacteria? No, just pieces of black thread.
It's obviously from China, but the return address is in Jamaica, NY. Weird? Yeah, I'd say so.

It could be a freebie they offered when you purchased something else.

Be careful Jerry. If you never ordered it and don’t know what it is leave it on the back porch. Maybe it was sent by the girl from Indonesia!

My son has received several packages in the last few months that he has no idea why he received them. Most was things he had no use for. All come with his name and address. He does order a lot from Amazon and has yet to not receive what he ordered. It is a mystery.

Have you ordered any photo equipment recently? Looks soft enough to be some kind of computer screen, lens, camera cloth that might have been sent separately from a photo equipment or computer order. Guitar or ukulele orders might also have some kind of extra cloth.

Could be part of an ongoing scheme, the Better Business Bureau warns. ... It's called a “brushing scam,” according to authorities, and it happens when people receive unsolicited items from a seller who then posts fake customer reviews to boost sales.

I have the return address in Jamaica, but no phone number.

Most of the things I order from Amazon I have no use for...

Jerry, this seems like something that happened to me. I received a pair of ankle length socks that were small enough for a pre-teen -- very cheaply made. I believe this was sent in place of something I had ordered on line. My belief is that these Chinese scam companies send "something" so that postal records will show a package being delivered to you. In case you did order something never tell Amazon or Paypal you got the wrong item. It will take months of back and forth where they want you to work it out with the vendor. They want you to contact them directly (good luck with that and hope you speak Chinese). Then they want you to return the wrong item to China!!!? (Right). Then they want to negotiate a price adjustment for you to keep the wrong item. It takes at least 2 months before you get refunded by PP. If this happens to you insist you did not receive the item you ordered -- period. NEVER say they sent you the wrong item. This way you will be refunded in about three weeks.
