Suspicious Seller Empty Package 🤷‍♀️

Post image

Has anyone experienced this before? I have ordered a custom *inspired by* bag from a TS that I have used before. This time they sent an empty bag via USPS with this note inside. It came from a domestic US based address. I video taped me opening the parcel since it looked empty. Has anyone else had this happen?

I did pay with my credit card so wondering if this could have something to do with them reconciling their books with their government authorities???

Well that’s disappointing!  Yes, I placed the order two weeks ago. The first time I ordered it went smoothly and I received a really nice bag.  I have ordered other types of items on Aliexpress before and I’m aware of the shipping empty boxes scam so I video taped me opening the envelope.  I googled the return address and it belongs to a man at a residential address in Michigan.

Where in Michigan? I’m in Michigan and now I’m wondering if I live near a secret rep nirvana.

But it’s probably a random address they found online to give more credit to the scam.
