I got a package through USPS on May 12, 2026 with some seeds in it. Then today May 14, 2026 I got another package but it was empty. I don't know who sent them or why. The return address said 70 E Hawthorne Ave, Valley Stream, NY 11580.
I just threw both packages away. I already reported it to ScamPulse.com. If I get any more packages from USPS like this I am just going to send them back. This whole thing feels weird.

Text message about a held package with a strange link
Got a text from +63 961 531 0166 saying it was USPS. Said they tried to deliver a package but couldn't get a signature and now it's being held. They said I had to arrange pickup or redelivery before May 10 or it would get sent back.
There was a link in the message. It was usps.govoiut.shop/tbxb. That didn't look right to me so I didn't click it. They also said to reply with "1" if I wanted a new tracking link.
I never gave them any money or anything. I just thought it was weird and wanted to report it. No company name on the text besides USPS but the website doesn't seem like theirs.

Empty envelope with just cardboard inside from USPS
I got a piece of mail from USPS and when I opened it there was nothing inside except a piece of cardboard. Just a flat piece of cardboard. It came from some address in Valley Stream, NY, 70 E Hawthorne Avenue. I didn't order anything from that address. It was just an empty envelope with cardboard in it. Felt weird. No idea what it was supposed to be.

Got a random package with hair binders I never ordered
I got this small package from USPS and opened it up and there was two little black hair binders inside. The return address says 70 E Hawthorne Ave, Valley Stream, NY 11580. I never ordered nothing like that. Didn't pay anything for it but still it's weird getting stuff you didn't ask for. No idea who sent it or why. Just showed up at my door.

Got a tiny package with just a hair tie I didn’t order
I got this unexpected delivery from USPS. It was a 0.2oz package and when I opened it there was just a single hair tie inside. I didn’t order anything like that. The return address says 70 E Hawthorne Ave, Valley Stream, NY 11580. I don’t know what this is about. It feels off. No one contacted me about it or anything. I didn’t lose any money but still weird.

Empty envelope with nothing inside from a Valley Stream address
Got a small padded envelope in the mail from USPS. It was sent from 70 E Hawthorne Ave, Valley Stream, NY 11580. Opened it up and there was nothing inside. Just an empty envelope. I didn't order anything from that address. No idea what it was about. The envelope was empty so I don't know what it was supposed to be. Felt like a waste of time.

Got a weird package with just a hair band inside
I got a package from the USPS. It was just a single black hair band inside. That's it. I didn't order anything like that. It came to my address and everything. It felt really off. I don't know why they sent it or where it even came from. The label said it was from 70 E Hawthorne Avenue in Valley Stream, NY. I never bought anything from there. It just doesn't make any sense to get a random hair band in the mail.

Got an empty package in the mail I never ordered
I got a package delivered to my house that I didn't order. It was sent through USPS Ground Advantage. The return address says Valley Stream, NY 11580. When I opened it up, the box was completely empty. Nothing inside at all. I don't know why this was sent to me or who it's really from. It just feels weird to get an empty box like that in the mail.

Got a letter from USPS about a check for my wife who passed away
I got this letter in the mail from USPS. It told me to call 888-788-4779. It said there was a check for $199 made out to my wife.
My wife is deceased. The letter made it sound like there was some kind of mortgage issue with the house. It said to call immediately.
I called the number. They were asking for information. The whole thing felt off. There shouldn't be a check in her name. I didn't give them anything, but it was upsetting to get this.
