    Anonymous youtube link received in the mail

    I received an envelope in the mail with just our address and no return address or recipient name. I'm assuming it was sent to me because I'm the only one in the house that watches youtube videos all day. It came from Buffalo New York according to the postal mark. The contents was an index card with a youtube link written on it and nothing else. The youtube channel hasn't had any videos posted since January of 2020, since the channel host died that month. Since my email, this site, and youtube are my most visited sites, I thought it might be someone here that sent it.
    So, did someone here send me a youtube link in the mail?

    I received the same thing, and if it's the same video link that I got, don't go to it. It's a video of Mikey dancing in his underwear to Funky Cold Medina.

          Ooh... we just had a local story that this reminds me of...



          I am fascinated by these sorts of things. I would love to see the Youtube link, a photo of the index card, of the envelope... all of it.

              Sounds like someone in your hood must be sending these out randomly to all residents. Check with neighbors. Not surprised. It is Portland and keeping it weird.

                But it was sent from New York.

                  No return address. Whoever sent it doesn't want it traced back to them. Sounds creepy. I'd be afraid to go to the link. Could be a setup, although I don't know what could happen unless they could get your IP address somehow, but they already have your home address.

                      Was thinking the same thing ….

                      Nobody on the Museum (at least your regular trusted friends) would be so mysterious …

                      I would just forget about it --- and not click on any given links.

                          Just someone trying to convert you into something you didn't ask for… these types of home contacts have become more popular in recent years.

                          It's just propaganda, and they are often sent en mass and randomly.

                            So this appears to be a from a guy talking about "religious" stuff.
