SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – With gift-giving and online shopping on the rise, a mail scam appears to be making the rounds again.

The scam involves fake notices of parcels on hold. The often postcard-sized, official-looking notices say the shipper was not able to deliver a package to your home. They’re official-looking and similar in appearance to notices you might find from a legitimate shipping company.

When you call the number on the card, if you don’t remember ordering anything, the caller may try to convince you the package is a gift from a friend or relative, the BBB says. However, things get weird quickly. The caller may try to ask you to verify personal information or provide credit card information to reschedule the delivery.

A Reddit user in the Sacramento area shared a photo of one of these bogus notices.
