Scam alert ...
Got a postcard in the mail today from "GSN/Parcel Service", postmarked in Houston, TX. It reads ...
"You did not pickup your
Parcel-No. <2001-C>
This is our <2nd> attempt
to reach you.
Please call me immediately
at 281-3970-9400 between
10-8 pm M-F or Sat 10-2 pm.
GSN/Parcel Service"
The bulk of the text on the card appears to have been rubber stamped in red ink. Items in
For starters, we are not expecting any parcels. Secondly, never heard of GSN.
Did a web search and found others who report this is a scam. A company sends out the card in hopes of a return call to the number posted (which has changed through time). Once you call, you're invited to a warehouse someplace and pursuaded into joining a membership club that sells goods, appliances, furniture, etc. at a discount. You only need to give them a chunk of money plus a monthly fee.
Don't call them. It's exactly what they want you to do.

o Man,
I deleted your comments on my posting by accident. It was a little too early in the morning and I didn't quite get the humor of it.
You should have been at Valhalla.
Cheers,
