travelguy_73 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 OK, so I'm off this week, just taking care of a number of little house projects that have been piling up. The neighborhood postal worker comes to the door and asks me to sign for a registered package. I do, curious about what I ordered but forgot about. It is a thin package from India, and the customs declaration says it is a dietary supplement. Wait, what? Hesitant, I open it (but not without calling my partner first to tell him that if I am dead when he gets home, it is due to the mystery package!).Inside is a small package of ProVigra2Go, which (upon searching) is sort of like Viagra. It is from a company named Tulip Lab Private Limited.OK, it sounds SO spammer, and I have no idea how I got it because it isn't like the package is To Current Resident, and it isn't like I put my real address on anything questionable online. And no snarky comments, LOL, I'm just curious if anyone else has had such an experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Sounds like someone who ordered it or filled the order made a typo in the address and you got a free package of sugar pills.If it was me, I'd throw it away.I seem to recall someone once saying that legally, anything the postman brings to your door is yours, even if it wasn't meant for you. As usual, hopefully some people who actually work in the law will chime in with their thoughts on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Man Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'd throw it away. I definitely would not take a dose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Seems like I heard about something like this. Not sure if it was an urban legend but I thought I'd heard drug dealers would do this and somehow pickup the packages claiming they mistakenly shipped something to a wrong address. Check snopes.com.

IronTiger Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 For some reason, you reminded me of Eagle Eye, how Shia LeBeouf's character opens his apartment to find federal weapons. In all seriousness, though, you should probably talk to some police officer before things get weirder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelguy_73 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I ended up throwing the product away, but I did keep the envelope "just in case." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
