Three times this week my Social Security account was suspended, twice Best Buy was charging me $399 for software stuff, Amazon is delivering an iPhone12 in Ohio
Both Spectrum and DirectTV are giving me 50% off but I have to pay for three months in advance on a gift card.
My Student Loans will be wiped out and I will get 0% interest on my credit cards.
Been a busy week. I can get insurance for final expenses too. They wanted the best number to call so I gave the number for the police station. They wanted to verify my name and asked me to spell it out. Of course I did. HEYWOOD JABLOWME
Yes, it is usps.com I don't know about the /help part. I go there often to track some packages that are mailed to me. YOU can go there and sign up to get email sent to you as to how the tracking is going and when it is delivered.
If they sent you a tracking number I would go there and see if something is coming. You can always go to the post office and see if you do have a package .
Yes, by golly it's the real help page for the usps. To make it seem more convincing.
It's phishing, but strangely, I did get a package today that I didn't order. The second one in a week. My street address but another guy's name, the same name, but different vendor address.
Last week I called the phone number in the return address, but today it was too late for that, so like last week I opened it up anyhow! It was
8 SD cards, 8GB, 40m/s, worth about 50 dollars. I asked on NextDoor if anyone knows him.
It was sent 2nd day air but they gave this order the same mistreatment they gave my rosebush, even though the first day they say they tried to deliver it was 2 days later than for the rosebush. So it was the same driver not looking harder the second time, or a different driver, or they didn't even try. So it ended up taking 9 days when it should have taken 2. And he doesn't have it yet but that part's probably his fault.
The house next door, with a different street number from mine, is vacant, but the only thing that loooks vacant about it is a lot of mail in the mailbox and hanging from a plastic bag below it. I've emailed the owner, my ex-neighbor, twice, and he didn't answer. Supposedly it had a contract pending months ago, but nothing happened. I thought houses were going fast these days.

He may have been like me. I got a package and was expecting one. Opened it up and it was something I did not order. Then looked at the address. It was for the house next door.
No, I knew I wasn't expecting one, but I got another for the same guy a week ago. When I called the vendor (whose phone number was in the return address) he told me to open it. He thought it was a t-shirt with some clever saying on it, but it turned out to be 100 non-medical surgical masks.
It was too late to call last night so I opened it without instructions to do so, but if the guy keeps using me as his maildrop, he's got to expect a little prying. Whatever it is, I'm not going to damage it.
Last time, the vendor called back in about 5 minutes, but this time it's been 9 hours and he hasn't. OTOH, why should he work on Saturday. He would probably call back on Monday. Also this time I left a message that said he probably was given the wrong address and he coudln't just look on the original order form. He has to email the buyer, so that will take time.
I'm pretty sure I googled the addressee a week ago and I didn't find anything, but this time I used 411.com and I found someone with the right first and last name, lives about 3 miles from here. He had 2 numbers. One didn't work "at this time" and I left a message at the other. I just said call me, to see what would happen. Tomorrow I'll tell him I have his package.
I'm glad I didn't rush or go out of my way to get rid of the masks, because now I can give them too to this guy. I certainly didn't expect a second package.
The second one was 7 days late, even to me, because again UPS claimed I'd moved and dragged it out 7 extra days. And he paid for 2nd day air, a lot of good that did him. So by now he should have been complaining, the vendor should have told him what address he sent it to, (he should have perhaps realized his paypal is screwed up,) and he should know my address by now. I'm surprised he hasn't been here!
I didn't hide my phone number, and he could also get my address from that. I think he'll show up tomorrow without bothering to call me back. I'm sure he won't mind that the box is open. It looks like a 10" pizza box but it only has 8 SD cards in little plastic boxes, and 2 layers of bubble wrap.
