I was sent a product, likely for a brushing scheme, entirely free. I do not know why I was sent the puzzle of my name, it is not a common first name so it’s likely bespoke, but I did not want it or request it. It was sent to my college address which I have no idea how they gathered.

Random boxes of food products came too my home 4 days in a row. I called the company s and I was told no charge was applied to my bank account at this time. I believe this scam has been called a " brushing scam". The company told me the person name and the last 4 digits of the card used.

I received a package (kitchen mat, kitchen towel and I love you pendant with chain) that I did not order. They also sent a text message to my phone number regarding the order. Sounds like a brushing scam.

I received a ring in the mail I did not order. Don’t see where I was charged for this. No contact info on paperwork except a website (www.gra-mossinanites.com) to register a warranty. I searched again and saw the word scam. I did not enter and info.

I believe my husband and I are being targeted by the brushing scam. We have had multiple Walmart packages be delivered to our house by FedEx. I did reach out to one of the names of the individuals on the package and she recently has reported the activity as fraud and said Walmart was suppose to cancel that shipment. I had FedEx return the items to "return to sender". We recently have had 3 more packages be delivered by another name. I reached out to Walmart and had them deactivate my account with them and explained the fraud. I am not sure how to stop the packages from being delivered that we never ordered.

Received “lucky box” with three junk items, what looks like a garrote, a useless plastic handle, and a very short Ethernet cable. I did not order this package and I’m unsure of how my home address was obtained by sender.

Received a usps first class pkg it was shipped on 5-29-23 I do not know and have had no contact this person. Inside the pkg was a little item in the shape of a strawberry with a small gold ring on it so I guess you could put it on a bracelet oh key chain. There was nothing else in the envelope.

I just received a package address to me from Carrie Bonkiewicz, who I don’t know and have never heard of. It contain a yellow smiley face charm that I did not order. I decided to google the sender and saw a report on ScamPulse.com regarding a scam alert on the sender. There was nothing else in the package, but thought I should report it anyway since there was a similar report on this individual.

I received an unrequested product in the mail yesterday. 05/24/2023. I am suspicious that they have a my credit card number. I cancelled with Frontier last night. They told me a new card will be issued.

The item is a kids tiny back pack with the word “Paris” on the front. Underneath is the following: ( which I don’t understand):

“Sweey dfa sscbool swqrrtfta coobesdad dfesgy wrtkvqtescd “.

I suspect this is a test to see if my credit card works.

My wife Googled “Carson” and found a number for complaints.

The address of origin was somewhere in China ???? and then a USPS First class package  sticker from:

Carson

180 Exchange Blvd

Glendale Heights Illinois 60139

The China return says only the following:

“Li Chaoren”

“Description of contents:”

“Shoulder bag” There are a lot of comments from others with the same experience via Google (https://safelyhq.com/incident/unordered-package-carson-180-exchange-blvd-glenda...⇄ Thank you.

Received a pkg from this person containg TWS-True-Wireless-Stereo i12 headphones and a Nano Mist Sprayer. Did not order anything from this person. Never heard of her. Can't see that she has attempted to take any money from me. No invoice was included in the package. There is a flyer advising us to contact Customer Service at [email protected]. Not going to do that as it might open up some type of doorway into our email, etc. Sure feels like a scam to me.
