Unwanted Deliveries: A Warning from Amdark Recovery Limited About “Brushing” Scams
Imagine receiving a package at your doorstep that you never ordered. At first glance, it might seem like a harmless surprise—or even exciting—but this could be a sign that you are the target of a “brushing” scam.
How “Brushing” Scams Work
- Fake Orders:
Scammers send packages containing inexpensive items—such as gadgets, beauty products, or household goods—to your address. These items are real, but you never made the order. - Inflated Reviews:
Using your name and address, fraudsters create fake accounts to post glowing 5-star reviews. These deceptive tactics falsely boost product ratings, misleading other consumers into trusting unreliable sellers. - Stolen Information:
The unexpected package is a red flag that your personal data—your name, address, or contact details—has likely been compromised through data breaches, phishing scams, or other means.
Why This Matters
- Misleading Consumer Trust:
The use of your “verified purchase” in fake reviews creates an illusion of legitimacy for subpar products. This dishonest practice deceives genuine shoppers who depend on trustworthy reviews for their buying decisions. - Risk of Identity Theft:
Receiving an unsolicited package indicates that your personal information may be exposed. Beyond fraudulent reviews, this data can be used for identity theft, unauthorized account openings, or financial fraud.
What You Should Do
If you receive a package you did not order, act quickly to protect your identity and finances:
- Report Immediately:
Notify the retailer—such as Amazon—and report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to help combat these deceptive practices. - Review Your Data:
Check your accounts and credit reports for any unusual activity. Tools like IdentityTheft.gov can help you determine if your information has been compromised. - Protect Your Credit:
Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report. This precaution makes it more difficult for scammers to open unauthorized accounts in your name.
