I received in the mail a pink envelope named to me, no return address.. inside of it was a card congratulating me as I'm gonna have a baby... written with a black marker on the card:
'Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! I hope you will enjoy these. Jenny B
AND INSIDE OF THE CARD THERE ARE 5 GIFT CARDS IN WORTH OF $245!! Along with cut out coupons of baby stuff... the were all wrapped around with the receipt of the purchased gift cards.. It mailed from Utah, don't know a soul there.. WOULD ANYONE KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO? Should I hire a detective maybe??

No need to get so hyped up about it. No one is stealing anything from you.

It's a scam that's going around. Just throw it out! It's sweeping the country. Google Jenny B scam and a ton of articles come up.

Probably if you go to use the gift card, there will be a small shipping or processing fee for which you have to enter your credit card information. Something like that.

Word to the wise: Nobody except maybe your mom sends you money or prizes for no reason with no strings attached. And I’m not even so sure about your mom.

It seems it's just an offensive, not well thought out marketing strategy.

When I was pregnant I got a bunch of these exact same gift cards but not from Jenny B but in the same package as my order of maternity clothes. Its basically coupons to get you to think your getting a large discount or something for free and then you go to checkout and the shipping is $15.
