Default Take to your Post Office immediately.

They will want to get Postal Inspectors involved immediately. Speak directly with Postmaster/Supervisor.

The amount of postage for this envelope was $1.10, but it was returned for insufficient postage. The postage said that $6.50 was needed to get this package that I received to a person I don't know.

I'm almost positive this is a scam. What I'm wondering is what is the scammer's angle? How are they going to make money?

Any input would be appreciated.
