TS Institute Warns of 'Free' Amazon Packages

A recent scam has arisen surrounding receiving Amazon packages you didn't order.

 

Connie Unruh with the TS Institute indicates a scam has arisen that involves Amazon packages being delivered to the home that you haven't ordered. She details what happened to her and others.

 

 

Unruh says this is known as a brushing scam. Companies will send items to customers to make a customer appear to be a valid purchaser of the items. They will then write a positive review on behalf of the recipient.

 

 

Unruh warns this means that the scammers have access to your Amazon account and possibly other sensitive information that could be used for identity theft. She recommends changing your account passwords.

 

 

Amazon says to contact their customer service if you receive unknown or suspicious orders.
