| suspious "free" package- anyone else getting this?
today i saw this small piece of paper taped on my door. is like really cheaply done (white paper cutted by hand, really shitty looking fonts)
it says "Please call regarding package we have on hold for you" "Item is fragile"
call 1877 2592-825
at first, i thought it was some local carrier ... so i called and it turns out to be some guy saying "oh we have a free 7 piece utensil kit for you, will you be home in the next hour so a representative can send to you?"
i was like WTF... so i hanged up.
Anyone else got this? I tried googling the number but not much clues.

oh wtf, i got this too... i did find it odd that no one attempted to ring the door bell, which is common practice by couriers. i guess it's a scam then!

Sounds like sketch. I hope you didn't call from your house. When's the last time anyone had an incoming package they didn't know about? 
If you said no, they probably would've cleaned out your place in about an hour.

I did that at my girlfriend's place once. She went off o work while I slept in and she accidentally armed the house. Woke up to go use the washroom and immediately found myself needing to clean the floor under me when I tripped the motion sensor. FML.  | |
