GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A local woman said she was baffled when she got a strange package in the mail -- and then things took a creepy turn.

Diane Sanders contacted Channel 2 Action News through our Facebook page and sent us photos of the contents of the package that included a letter and a money order for $982. She feared it was a scam.

She told Channel 2's Justin Wilfon what really bothered her was when she started getting text messages from the alleged scammer.

“I see this package in there and I knew that I don’t normally get anything like this," Sanders said.

Along with the money order, Sanders said there was a letter from someone she never met.

“Just scam me, that’s what they were gonna do,” Sanders said is what she thought after reading the letter.

The letter told her to deposit the money order and use the cash to buy iTunes gift cards, then send back the gift card serial numbers while keeping some leftover money for herself.
