Opened envelope, but the contents are still there (could be fake?)

Hi reddit,

One of my friends just received an envelope with accurate cuts on the side - so it must have been opened by authorities. But the vacuum sealed bag with the contents (small amount of mdma) looks good.

So I'm not sure what happened here, is there anything to worry about? Is there a possibility that the bag is fake or something?

Also, is it possible to find out the content of the bag without opening (stupid question, but who knows, it's 2014).

It's been 4 hours, but I'm still paranoid.

Letters get cuts all the time in the automatic sorters, don't immediately assume conspiracy.

First, relax a bit. Accurate cuts don't necessarily mean the package was intentionally opened. There are plenty of ways mail could get neatly slashed by accident. The vendor himself could have opened it and re-sealed it to double check the content.

If it's a big vendor it's possible the package was profiled from origin, but it's highly unlikely they would repack it and send you the drugs or fakes. It would be confiscated.

If you yourself have enough activity you're suspicious, then it's probably possible (yet very unlikely by now,) this was some strategic delivery by LE. They would be watching you get it from your mailbox, not coming around hours or days later to see if you have it still.

There's no way to tell what the substance is without opening it. I just can't imagine a situation where anyone would replace the item with anything but what you ordered if you have it in your hands and haven't been confronted yet.

Four hours and no cops, probably means you are ok.
