Super weird Ebay package about Pokémon
- Thread starter platocplx

Probably wouldn't hurt to email them with a throwaway email address.
Also yeah some jerk on this forum is likely to email them now.
Interestingly it's pretty easy to find that person's full name and phone number and where they work, live, and their hobbies with just their email, so I'm guessing there's a 40% chance the note received is legit.
Alternatively some international person stole that person's email and is pulling a double fake.
Don't give any personal info no matter what!

Yeah they had my sisters full name including middle name and address
Just fixed it.
This is crazy. I've never seen anything like this before.
E-mail them from a throwaway address telling them you have the letter and ask for the ebay seller they bought it off.

also checked the tracking number. Apparently it came from fucking Fargo,ND.
Never seen anything like this. But I would get in touch with whoever sent you the letter (securely) and identify the auction this person believes you were affiliated with.

Very curious what the outcome of this is. I do a ton of Pokémon business on eBay. Whatever this ends up I want to be aware of it. 😨

Odd. I had a different scam where some guy makes an offer for your sale that is like $40 over asking price, then sends you a super long text with a lot of ellipses about how his family lives in Oklahoma/Florida/Maryland, or is part of the army or something, and with your sale send a $300 eBay gift card that he will pay for. It's bullshit and he has a ton of different accounts with variations of this message's story.
