A few weeks ago, a letter was sent to my parent’s house addressed to me. However, there was no return address or sender. My dad sent me a photo telling me that I got mail. I told him to open it because I have nothing to hide—right!? Wrong.
Yep, it was a card congratulating my non-existent pregnancy. I was happy that my mom opened it instead of my dad, but it got worse. Inside the card was a message of excitement, dozens of coupons, and tons of gift cards for pretty much anything pertaining to having a baby, signed “Jenny B.”
I do not know a single Jenny B., and I am definitely not about to have a child! So, I had to convince my parents that this was 100% a prank!
After I did some snooping, calling friends and trying to blame theme for this trickery, I found no culprit. It wasn’t until my friend sent me a viral TikTok video of a girl who got the exact same letter that I realized this was just a straight-up scam. Apparently, it’s a marketing ploy by a company in Utah. These letters are being sent all across the country, scaring parents and teenagers everywhere.
At the end of the day, it’s honestly a great story, but beware a pink envelope with no return address in your mailbox. It’s most likely just “Jenny B.” trying to get you to buy a 50 pack of diapers!
