The postcard I received states that they have been trying to reach me regarding a package they are trying to ship to me. I no nothing of this business and have not ordered anything from them. This is just a scam trying to get my credit card number. They want you to pay the postage of $12.95 for a pack of jewelry that is worth $297. They get my credit card and will try to charge me $297. Just wanted others to be aware of this scam.
