In response to "Was it because of Mac? -- nm" by David

Sorta!

We sent her a care package through USPS...I put in her address and printed out the label at home.

I've been having some mental lapses lately (not getting dates right, etc) so I was skittish that I put in the address wrong.

The first time I put in her address at USPS, it said the address was bad.

I switched her room and the street address, and it was taken. So, the label is printed and the package is sent.

*The day that the package is picked up* I get a text saying that the package address was incorrect and was being held.

The text had the USPS logo on it. So of course, given recent stuff, I thought I had messed it up.

I copied the address from the link in the text and said, wait a minute, it's usps.xxxx.lnk

So I got suspicious, and logged onto the USPS site. It just so happened at that moment that their package tracking was down.

I end up getting flustered and go back to the link in the text and click through. The page said that there was a small re-delivery fee (sorta made sense) and that I should enter my credit card again. Stupid, but like I said, flustered.

The next day I get the call from the credit card company saying the card was compromised.

I was mad at myself that I was suspicious but fell for it anyway.

But the *weird* think is...this wouldn't have worked out if I hadn't sent the package *that day*
