Got a Parcel Pickup Notice asking to call the above mentioned number and reference my (?) package number. Naturally I didn't call... but instead "read the fine print" which stated "if I wished to no longer receive this offer from Global Vacation Network, to please send this post card to GVN 3519 Alt 19 Palm Harbor, FL 34683. Yeah Right... spend 49-cents (postage) to get off someone's list... Like I have faith in that ever working!

Got the little yellow card in the mail. Of course totally phoney.  72 hours to contact "distribution center" from what date or before what date? Very clumsy. Calling hours 9:00 -9:30PM in which time zone? Small print says "pick up date and time may be specified by a secondary agent of addressee." An internet search is REPLETE with scams spinning off of the postal permit. The company seems to be in Texas and not Florida. The Better Business Bureau has numerous complaints connected to the postal permit.
Apparently, this is (or was) a "private Vacation Club" scam.

The "secondary agent" is really a pitch team signing up people after a 90 minute "presentation." The old scam was free plane tickets. How the new variation "free Android note pad" works I did not spend the time to research.  Here's the old pitch from the West Palm Beach Permit 1002 people thanks to the BBB in Tuscon.

"Consumers who have attended tell BBB that the program offered is a private travel club. The up front cost of the program is $8,995. Members pay a one time $399 "documentation fee" and an annual membership fee of $199. Other packages for lesser prices are offered, according to consumers. - See more at: http://www.bbb.org/tucson/business-reviews/tr ... h.7WxkGXzO.dpuf:

My guess is that only certain regions/areas are targeted at one time to make it efficient for the scam team to gather in the sheep.

So now you (some) more.

Same thing going around western PA. Postcard shows West Palm Beach as the mailer.  Didn't bother to call since they get your phone number when you call an 888 or 800 #.

Got a 'yellow postcard with brown print' which suggests that it's from UPS but that company uses paper post-it notes like notices. Didn't call because I figured it was a scam. Found and confirmed that here. I see that there were no reports for a few years but starting 5/15/2014 they seemed to be back in business. (i'm from the Philly area)

Called the 888-684-2674 number on yellow card.  They said it was DMG marketing promo, and I had won free android tablet with no strings.  Please call 888-684-2654.  Friend stopped by and said he had also received this card.  Hmmm - 2 lucky winners in a Chicago suburb 5 miles apart?  Doubt it.  Pitch.  (Mine was from W Palm Beach).

Got mine today.  Blocked my number and called to see what it was.  It's for a stupid time share.  Mainly I wanted to call just to let them know I don't appreciate deceptive advertising and will not do business with anyone who has to lie just to talk to me.

Got one today in Illinois ... didn't and won't call it

Nice!!! Thanks!

Must be spreading.I am in NW North Carolina.  Got one yesterday and didn't call.  Not expecting any packages.

Got the card today! I love the Internet. Thanks everyone for the info. Saved myself a call and I will report it to our postmaster general.

Got a postcard to call to schedule a pick-up. Included a package number and track number. Figured it was probably bogus,  An automated response had me enter the package number then put me on hold. After a couple minutes I hung up.

Got the card today. Any reputable company would have their company name on the card, and would first deal with you at your home phone number or email address you provided when you ordered from them. Put their 888 number on call-block just so I don't have to deal with any calls from them.  Thanks for this great site where we can help each other avoid the scammers.

hit nc too!! didnt fall for it but i turned it in to postal service.

Got my postcard today, will not be calling. Sounds like they are hitting our area now.

Got a card today in NC.  Googled the number and came here.  Thanks for sharing.

We just got the same green post card in Florida.  Called the number thought it was about something we just recently ordered but hung up and googled the number and saw all the comments!  SCAM!!!!!!

In E. TN. Same card. Not expecting anything. Came here first...glad I did. Thanks.

got the green card today in nc have not called just went and Googled the phone #   will not call the # thought it was a scam from get go. i would just like to know  why the us postal will deliver these scams if they just look at the cards they all probably have the same package # and tracking #   that would do away with allot of these scams.

Got my green card today-Yahoo Im leagal in the USA-No Kidding-This mailing  is a scam just like what is posted here,fake tracking number and package numer-do call and waste your time.

I recieved a green post card with return address
"Package Services
P.O. Box 820
Whitehouse, TX 76791"...
asking me to call 888-684-2652 to schedule a pickup
including package and tracking numbers

I did a search on the ph # and found this website...

I haven't order anything lately so i won't waste my time.

Thank you for this website

Thanks for this post, received on also in Florida today.  It looked like a scam so I googled to here.  Thanks!

Thank you for all your posts. Got the same green card here in Florida. Thought it was maybe my forclosure papers to pick up to start loosing my house, like so many others. I didn't call. Just layed it on the table and forgot about it! Ya I know, can't run away or "forget" those problems! : (

I got the same green card today and thought it may have been some sort of pick-up slip for the book I just ordered 2 days ago, so I called. Listened to the lady on the line telling me all these things I had been selected for (different trips, a laptop or an Android tablet), then told me about the talk I was suppose to sit in on... told me the company giving away these prizes is a travel agency. I got a strange feeling, so I googled the phone number while talking to her, which led me here. I just hope I don't get charged for the "Toll-Free"  number, but I will fight it if I do. These people are scammers. Some body should give this phone number to the west African scammers on craigslist. Let them piss each other off.

I received Green Card also, looked suspicious, especially since I didn't order anything nor expecting anything. I did like most others and did not call, but Googled info on card. Yes, I see, it's a scam, somebody unknown phishing for something. Beware !!

Thanks for this site.  I got the postcard, checked here 1st.  Illinois.

We received a green postcard today in Illinois from:
Package Services
P.O. Box 820
Whitehouse, TX  75791
Call Toll-Free to schedule pickup:  (888) 684-2652
Followed by a fake package number and tracking number and office hours.

The Better Business Bureau says that this is really CDA Consulting LLC and they have an "F" rating.  These scammers have also been known to use these phone numbers:  (877) 818-2492; (877) 623-1611; and (903) 780-6510.

Apparently when people call these people try to set up appointments for them to attend presentations from various companies ("vacation opportunities").  Scam.

Others have reported being hooked into rebate programs where you save your receipts for a year (retail, gas, dining) and then you send them in a get a rebate.  Scam.

I wonder if this constitutes mail fraud?

Got my postcard today.  Thanks for posting this.

Got the same card as the rest of you today. Thanks for the info. Looked fishy, got on line and found very helpful info. Central Florida has been infected with this scam.

Took Foodie202's advice and submitted this as a scam to https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx; hopefully the USPS can put the stops on this company (Package Services) and save others from any more wasted time. By the way, we are located in Chicagoland so it seems many areas are receiving the notice.

Rec'd one today.  Spelled our last name wrong too.
Thnx Jon.
