[I\u2019m] 1,000 percent sure I did not order any mask,\u201d Litty said. \u201cIt\u2019s a complete surprise. And it doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In upstate New York, Broome County residents told the local CBS\/CW station that they\u2019ve received random packages of facemasks as well. One Endicott resident, Dawn Proctor, told the outlet she received what <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared to be a package of dirty socks from China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo invoice attached,\u201d Proctor said. \u201cNo note attached. The socks looked like they were used. We all kind of laughed about it. Thought it was odd and threw them away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>US officials have not confirmed that any of the reports were related or that any of the new packages are part of a coordinated scam.<\/p>\n<p>The USDA has informed residents not to plant seeds they\u2019ve received. Residents should instead save the seeds and their packaging in which they arrived and send them to their local plant regulatory officials for testing.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/05\/residents-report-mysterious-packages-from-china-beyond-just-seeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Residents report mysterious packages from China beyond just seeds&#8221; August 5, 2020 | 8:13pm | Updated August 5, 2020 | 8:31pm Perhaps the seed scammers branched out.
