Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Got a package you didn’t order? It could be a scam
Have you received any merchandise that you hadn’t ordered from online retailers like Amazon? If you have multiple times, that could be brushing scams. Many online shoppers check the ratings of the merchandise or the seller before making their purchase decisions. Therefore, for online retailers, these ratings are essential for their businesses. In the rating, the number of items sold is another important factor. So, some online sellers try to boost their ratings by paying people to post positive reviews about their merchandise or do it themselves. In order to make fake reviews look genuine, some of them try to trick the online platformers by placing gift orders to those whose names and addresses are found. This practice is called brushing, and it is a scam. That’s why some people have received totally unexpected, usually unwanted merchandise whose sender is unknown multiple times. Though it causes no financial or legal problems by receiving such “gifts,” it surely annoys you. Also, your name and address are both known to someone. If you receive such a delivery, you should contact customer service of the online shopping site and even change your password. But the actual victims of this brushing scam are those who check the reviews and ratings of the merchandise.
Enjoy reading the article to learn about this mysterious package delivery.
