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?
Yes it's a scam and they are still mailing them out. Rip it up...
