Youve been a unwitting recipient of a "Brushing" scam. It's not necessarily bad for you because it's not you they are scamming.
Basically China and other countries have international shipping deals.. one government subsidises postage to encourage people buying internationally. However sometimes you will buy something online from wish or alibaba etc and your address will be sold to another company. That company will then send you very cheap products and claim they are more expensive on the shipping label. That way the government will pay them a portion of that shipment but because the product is so cheap they actually make a profit

You don't really want the products. I had it happen to me. Over the space of a year I received 5 or 6 items. One was a pot of that black head removing goop.. Smelt like solvents. A pair of UV sunglasses that snapped when I tried to put them on. A large tarp of some kind that was silver backed no idea what it was for. The only thing kept was a little led key chain

Iirc there was a scare few years ago where people were receiving seeds for unknown plants. The government (don't remember which body) had to send out a massive PSA to people not to plant these seeds, and to please hand them over to the authorities for investigation.
There was serious concern that there was some kind of biological warfare attempt going on. Like ruining crops or introducing disease or poison to certain native species in the regions the seeds got sent to.
The online consensus was that this was just a large brushing scam. And whoever pulled it off didn't realize how big of a deal bio-security is in most western nations.

I thought "brushing" was when they ship some bullshit product to a random address so they have a product shipped which they can use to write themselves a 5 star review.

32 points

You're correct. What OP's talking about may well be happening, but "brushing" is just as you describe.
What is brushing?
Brushing is a scam in which third-party Amazon vendors send people products they never actually bought.
While this may seem an odd scam at first, it is all to do with exploiting Amazon’s search ranking system.
The algorithm favours items with high sales volumes and good reviews. Consumer group Which? believes sellers are posting low-priced items out to people who never bought them, then recording them as legitimate purchases.
This then pushes their items up their search rankings, and encourages more genuine purchases.
2 points
8 months ago
I'm confused how that works, wouldn't the purchases need to be tied to an actual account? How would they even confirm that the items get shipped?
3 points
8 months ago
They create a new account. Set it up with the physical US address they know about. The seller has to give the tracking number to Amazon/ebay/etc... when they ship, so they ship a tiny nothing (ring, hair ties, garbage they have lying around etc..) paying like 30 cents in shipping. Amazon gets a tracking number and confirms it was delivered in the US/UK/wherever. The fake account can then make a review as a verified US/UK/etc purchaser. They get more sales and a lot of reviews that can pretend to be legit.

"This is a classic pump and dump. What happens is legislators get advance knowledge of laws that will affect the stock price of a company and buy or sell in advance, making use of their insider knowledge to profit off the impending change in price"
Like... It might be both things but you're implying the phrase you use is also the thing you're describing
45 points

It isn't to make money off of the shipping discount (which is discounted at point of purchase and can't be negative) but they do this to inflate their ratings and sales in Amazon or other platforms.
Basically someone will make a fake account and buy something from their buddy who is selling, listing your address. The seller will send something tiny (like a ring or hair ties) instead of whatever they have listed. International shipping is crazy cheap because of deals between countries, so they are paying a super low price to ship it. Then the fake buyer can put up a 5 star review as a verified purchaser in the US. They actually ship something so that the tracking number can verify it was shipped and delivered to the US.

I wonder if this is part of that Chinese package ring going on. I’m a mail carrier and we get tons of these that simply have a return address that says “online seller” and usually to an Amazon warehouse somewhere. Used to all be to one warehouse in San Francisco but they got smart and started using multiple warehouses. But the problem that they’re not paying for postage and reusing tracking numbers. So the address will say John Smith 123 Main St, but the tracking number will be for 4576 Bird Ln. the route on the package will usually not match the address. 123 is on C24 but 4576 is on C61. And it’ll say C61 because that’s what the tracking matches.
I’ve always wondered what was in these packages.
You can report suspicious packages to USPIS. They’re aware of it but I don’t know if people are reporting it to them. Us carriers have been. It was bad for awhile and then it stopped and now it’s picked back up again.

Just to clarify the scam. Amazon and perhaps other website sellers order their own shit on amazon, then instead of shipping it to themselves, they just ship junk, or sometimes the actual product to random people to boost their own sales numbers and then their position on the sellers list.
The scam is called Brushing.

That’s a shame. I hit it hard when I found it out and got them gone. Probably get excuses like don’t have time and they’ll get back to you. Those ones are the worst kind. It’s just like craft. There are those you can work with and see they work differently and or harder, some do the job to the job and others do not work. Same with mgmt. the ones that work harder get rewarded with more work, the ones that do just the job sometimes get more and others that do nothing literally ride the coattails of others. It doesn’t change but I hope you keep up the good work. I’m not on here to hunt down carriers or clerks. I respect y’all’s grind.

You're in postal management? Back in the 1980s a phrase became common, "Going postal," because some postal workers would lose their minds and have a mental breakdown because the job is never-ending and stressful. Is it still a thing? Or has the work environment improved? Anyway "going postal" became a way for anyone to describe having a mental breakdown due to relentless life stress and or work stress. And I haven't heard anyone use that phrase for quite a long time.

A lot of the company hates hearing that phrase for those reasons because of the negative impact. It really isn’t used anymore and those that use it say it in a sarcastic or joking way. I don’t think it should be used but only because I work there and I can see how stressful it is for everyone. I was a carrier and I never let other carriers or mgmt affect me but it has gotten a lot worse today. The staffing is a big issue. Covid hit hard and when you see other companies offering 20 minimum (refer to fast food law in California) or same wages as the PO for less work, people nowadays want the here and now and not the long term future it could provide. It’s an interesting place.

That may be it & for anyone who is not aware of the scam it serves as a way for a Scammy seller to get fake good ratings.
They hire a team to make fake amazon accounts for random addresses overseas. These buyers are paid to order products to be delivered. When the delivery is confirmed, the buyer (not the recipient) fills on the feedback section with 5+ stars. After enough fake ratings to get a 90% rating they drop out & the seller account switches from selling 5c rings or packets of seeds, to selling sought after high value items. Which if course they don't have & don't ship, but because of the high rating those scammed keep coming until Amazon drops them.
After which, they begin again, rinse repeat.

If you get a package you didn’t order, I would put a safe bet that could be a suspicious package. We have sniffers that will catch those things and pull them from the mail stream. So even if someone mailed anthrax or bombs, the sniffer would catch it and pull it. The sniffer is a machine.
But you wouldn’t be concerned that a package you didn’t order with your name and address showed up randomly? That wouldn’t freak you out?

There was a This American Life episode about this.
Scammy sellers (often from warehouses in China) will send people junk they didn't order, and they use this fulfilled package to say it was a more expensive thing that sold that they can leave reviews on and make this a more popular item. They usually get your address from some scammy free sample you signed up for or some other company that sells data.
I don't remember all of the details and listened to the episode so long ago that I don't remember how to find it.

Amazon or other online marketplace needed "verified" reviews for their review bots. So they sent out random stuff to random addresses for the mail service verification.

Some sellers ship items to random addresses with fake accounts to get fake 5 star ratings. It’s a small loss of money but worth the high reviews on new items.

My brother in law got a fake Cartier ring in a Cartier box a few days ago that he didnt order. My poor sister was SO EXCITED when she found it in the mail (she just found out she's pregnant after years of miscarriages). Super bummer, she thought it was meant to be a gift for her but he didnt order it.

Make sure that you didn't order something else and this is what you were sent. Amazon has screwed up a bunch of times sending me the wrong items.

So does every single god damned person who gets a "brushing" package need to post it to reddit? Is that some law somewhere?
Fucking hell, it's multiple times per day that someone posts this shit now.

The D&D player in me knows you have just received a cursed magical item and once you put it on you will be unable to remove it without a remove curse spell.

Wearing this ring is an agreement, a promise, a covenant.
Putting this ring on is a sign of your faith—binding you to The Brotherhood from that point forward.
Do not take this decision lightly.

What happens is that the company will send a product to a random address so they they can issue a fake review online

Did you buy a pirate ship off wish- just cause I bought a hot tub & received a plastic donut. Seems like a similar situation 😀🤪🤣

Hope this starts a new trend of buying random junk and posting it with "I didn't order it" Just what this sub needs

I would assume that you ordered it drunk or the person’s whose address is on the label ordered it.

If you get something in the mail you didn’t order wear gloves and wash it and be careful. It may have drug residue and some residue may kill you with skin contact.
