It gives an 888 number to call the "Distribution Center" to schedule a pick-up. It says they can hold the package for ONLY 72 HOURS.

It sure looks like a scam, or at least some sort of come-on, but I cannot guess what it really is. Has anyone else gotten one of these "notices"?
Is so, did you call? What did they say?
Why would you call? Are you expecting a package? No, No!
