Received a card in the mail today, telling me to call an 800 number to schedule a pick up of a package from Whitehouse, TX. Had tracking number looked quite official.
Called and talked to USPS Postal Inspectors and complaint complaint from. They think it is a scam and when you call the 800 number you will get a huge phone bill. If you get a green card from: Package Services PO Box 820 Whitehouse, TX 75791 Go online and let USPS Inspectors know that you also got one. I have never ordered anything from this company, we have to be careful looks like a good way to get into our wallets through the phone company.

Don't know, but I would not call from my cell just to be on the safe side. You might want to call your provider of cell service and see what they say.

Funny!! I got the same green postcard today. Looked like a scam with a package waiting for me with a tracking number. I threw it away cause I know that I didn't order anything. Will follow your advice and fish it out of the garbage and contact the USPS.
Be careful everyone.

Google the number. A page will probably come up with others telling about the scam. Let us know what you find.

I did the 411.com thing and all that comes up from the reverse number search is number can not be found. That was when I called the USPS Postal Inspector number and they told me to fill out the form so that they (USPS Inspectors) can start whatever it is they do.

I received one of these a few weeks ago. I called seniors vs. crime. They knew about this scam and informed me what not to do.

I usually throw this type of mail away as I know I didn't order anything. If I get it, I will contact the postmaster and lodge a complaint.
