I received a green postcard in the mail today from "Combined Package Services" in Whitehouse, Texas. It said to call a number to schedule pickup and even included a package number and tracking number.
I thought I had heard of this before while volunteering at Seniors Vs. Crime and I typed "Combined Package Services" into Google and came up with the scam. When you call, they will tell you that you have a package but have to pre-pay a "nominal" charge to have it delivered. Well, they have your credit card number at that point and what do you think will happen? "Nuff said.
If anyone gets the green postcard, toss it in the trash. Do not call them.
