When you download the receipt it infects your computer: i.simpli.fi and bk-coretag.js

I got the same post card and immediately round-filed it.

I did. I filed a complaint as best one could at https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/c...complaint.aspx

I'm also taking the post card to the post office. Since they have been delivering them and assuming the Permit number is correct, they are part of the problem. They need to stop delivering these.

This is 1000% a scam.

It is a scam and we googled the number telling us so. I was expecting a pkg so at first I thought it was legit but since LL Bean never handles their delivery this way I had a red flag. I'm wondering if they somehow know to target certain people who are expecting a pkg?
