What in the world?

Post by GrapeApe »

A random package came in today's mail with a pair of small thermal underwear.
I googled the shipping address and called the company associated with it. It's an equipment supplier for the oil and gas industry in Houston. When I told the guy that answered the phone I was confused, he asked what I had received.
He said they've been inundated with calls from all over the country in the last 2 days, from folks who'd called after receiving earrings, hair products and other assorted things.
The package had been opened before it arrived, so I have no clue WTH is going on ???

Rule #1
Never open unsolicited packages.
Rule #2
Never open unsolicited packages.

Could be a dry run for more nefarious purposes. All those things and shipping materials and shipping cost money. What is the purpose behind spending all that money? That is what we need to ask.

Next you'll be telling me that there aren't hot, young singles in my area who want to meet me.

Of course there are!!!! The Nigerian prince I’m helping recover his fortune told me so…. Now I have to go, apparently my password to my Prime account could be compromised and I have to go to this weird website and enter my info to confirm it.
