I read an article about this a while back. It is an Amazon/Chinese scam. The article I read was written because some woman had dozens of packages showing up at her house and Amazon was doing nothing to help her. Shit was just piling up. The scam part doesn't affect you, unless you end up in her situation, it has more to do with fake reviews if I recall correctly. I just remember thinking how weird the whole thing was.

Honestly I was concerned that it might be part of some title fraud thing; part of a plot where a scammer tries to prove residency by providing proof that he sent mail from my house. God knows what sort of crap people might try to pull these days. |

A friend of mine received a box of Panini NFL player cards and a retail promotion kit sent out by Panini addressed to him at his address. Thing is he has no idea why they were sent to him. Hell he doesn't even watch sports and hates football. After they sit around collecting dust he gave the box to me.
I sold all the cards on ebay in about 1 month for a bit over $600. At that time I noticed several people on there selling the same cards. Somebody at Panini really screwed up. |

I've had emails from Chinese junk sellers on Amazon (which is a redundant phrase I know) offering to give a free product in exchange for a positive review. The deal was that you go and buy it on Amazon and send them your receipt and they'd send you an Amazon gift card, and afterward you would get to keep the junk.
I presume these reviews are more valuable to them because it says "verified purchase" or whatever. Maybe they don't follow through on the gift card or people are just trying to double-dip - once they get the gift card they try to return the product for a refund, only the return address is bogus...? |
