Complete with the USPS logo to make it look nice and authentic.

I'm amazed at how brazen all of this is. I know I shouldn't be, at this point.

Notwithstanding the wrong info and brazen USPS logo as txstamp said, I feel like use of the word "pcs" to describe stamps should be a clue to anyone familiar with postage? Does anyone actually call individual stamps "pieces"?

I agree with you WheatCent, but some people don't have a clue.

My guess is that "pieces" is a literal translation of something in Chinese. While I don't know Chinese, I do know the Thai language and nouns in Thai have what is called a classifier word that accompanies it when talking about amounts of something. So in Thai you would have "Stamp" + "3" + (classifing term) = "3 stamps." Such a construction often gets literally translated as "Stamps 3 pieces."

Another tell is the use of the word "dollar" (singular, no less), in addition to the $ sign.

"Save $15 dollar"

Reading the "Contact Us" page, it is clear that English is not their first language:

Not sure if it is meant to be a joke:

That's Crescent Hotel, billed as "America's most haunted hotel"!

The irony here is palpable.

Items are shipped from: "SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, NY 11413"

The package came with no return address (it was ripped off the address label).
