Get a Package You Didn’t Order? It Could Be A Scam

There’s A New Scam That Involves Sending People Packages They Didn’t Order

If you’ve recently gotten a package, but you didn’t order it, it’s probably a scam.

The scam works like this: Third-party sellers on big apps like Amazon and eBay pay people to write fake reviews on items they are selling. To do this, they need it to look like a legit transaction took place.

To do this, they find people’s info online, and they will send out items to them randomly. A tracking number is created, and they can use that to create a review.

The person who receives the package doesn’t get charged, and their account isn’t hacked. It’s just random and weird.

So, you get a package, you don’t get charged for the package, and you can keep the package? Sounds like my kind of scam.

Have you ever gotten a package you didn’t order before? Did you keep it?
