I received an unordered, random package from P.O. 208014, Cape Point, Bahai, Gambia today. All that is inside is a white cloth, almost like a thick fabric(ish) paper towel.

There is no business name or phone number attached and it is addressed to my name.

Received two separate boxes of Hills Science Diet dog food. First box received around Dec. 19, 2023. Second was received Dec. 27th, 2023. They are different kinds of dog food. Reported to Amazon. No order history for these packages and no one I have reached out to sent these packages to our house. We do not have a dog. I threw away the first box, but the second box has UPS tracking number ** *** *** ** **** **** and was sent from 21000 E 13th Ave., Aurora, CO.

I got a wool rug I did not order. It was addressed to me with no other paperwork. I have checked with everyone who might have sent it as a gift and no one said they did.

Received a random package in the mail. When I opened it there was what appears to be a diamond ring in a red box. There is a note with a QR code and explanation of the quality of diamonds.

Today (October 30, 2023), I received a small black package shipped through the US Postal Service. The return address indicates the package was shipped from Franklin Park, IL, but the tracking information says it was first accepted at USPS Origin Facility

SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, NY 11413

October 29, 2023, at 12:07 am. I did not order anything and have not opened the package, but it makes a rattling sound consistent with puzzle pieces or other similarly small, lightweight objects. I am marking it return to sender.

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.
