No, but monitoring accounts closely. I will mark it as “REFUSED” and return it to sender at local US Post Office.

This happened to me too. It was sent to my work and the only thing I haven't received that was being sent to my work was an amazon package. I don't see any unusual activity in my bank account or cards. So I am not entirely sure what to do.

May 28 - got a small package (i get ALOT of small packages) so i open it up and its a 2.5"-3" metal PANAMA souvenir magnet --- definitely did NOT order this --- started Googling the JON address & see that a few more people have received weird Panama gifts in the past few days --- am monitoring my accounts   ---   I'll have to go back thru all my orders that I haven't got yet & see if I ordered something that might trace back to this thing ...

I got that same magnet too. I figured out where I bought it from and discussed it with the card company not paypal

You ordered this magnet? Or you know who sent it? Can you share the vendor info so I can see if I ever bought anything from them

I didn’t order the magnet and I have no idea who sent it but I bought it from a company called loveinhome. I’ve never heard of them and I’m as buying papertowels because they seemed to have had some. But I was wrong. It was all a scam. Never received the papertowels, instead I got that same magnet that you received from a jon. If you look up the address it’s a gas station.

I, too, received a package within a package from Jon at <removed> which is a gas station. The inner most package suggests that the contents are a keychain and provides the date of "2020-04 26".  The packaging also seems to suggest that it came from overseas.  The outer most package indicates it is from Jon (no last name) but has a "1stEx" next to Jon's name.  The inner most package contained a magnetic bottle opener with Panama on it - the same type that SpiderPlex mentioned receiving.  I did not order this.  I did, however, order a dirt devil from a company online that advertised under the name "Buy Real" back in March 2020.  I paid for it using my PayPal account, but when I received my bill it was under the name "supfashion.com" and listed the items were clothes.  I then filed a dispute with PayPal.  After investigating, PayPal did refund my money.  I suspect the two things are connected because I have received everything else that I have ordered using my PayPal account.  The package I received from Jon was delivered using the United States Postal Service and has a tracking number associated with it.  I have kept the packaging in the event that someone from PayPal wants to pursue claim for mail fraud.
