I got one today from 864 790 0483 but it was from usprefrdet.info/FAQx. Filled in my contact information then when they asked for a 3 dollar charge to 'fix' my order alarm bells went off and I realized this was fraudulent (don't worry, didn't put my financial credentials in though!).Txt said: U.S.P.S - You have a package on hold due to an incorrect delivery address. usprefrdet.info/FAQxThe only reason I almost fell for it was I had LITERALLY just placed a order for a couple items on Etsy just yesterday. The timing??? Something real off here.
