I was on Messenger and a gentleman came on asking me if I could use $10,000. He wanted me to write honestly what I would do if I was given that amount. I answered. Maybe 15 minutes later he came back on stating I was chosen to get the $10,000. We had small talk and in between he sent me pictures, one of a lady sitting at a desk. She was supposed to mail my package. Also a picture of a box filled with money, and a picture of the box ready to be mailed. He then said the package was at a Distribution Hub and in order for me to get the package, I had to pay $30 for an outstanding customs charge. He said I had to pay right away. I told him I would. He said to get back to him asap. I started looking on the Internet to see what I should do. By that time I knew it was a scam. Luckily I didn’t pay the $30.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer - Brushing Scam

I received a package in the mail with 2 pieces of cardboard only with nothing else in the package. I haven't recently ordered anything, but I did have to dispute a recent transaction from Walmart.com for a charge that I don't. I'm not sure if it's related, but it occurred around the same time.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer - Brushing Scam

I received a small box. Inside was a small pouch and a thank you note from the manufacturer with instructions. Inside the pouch was a stamp to personalize a golf ball. The stamp has a drawing of a Panda and my name, Denny. Also in the pouch was a small bottle of black ink for the stamp. I did not order this item and have no idea why I received it. But when I looked up the phone number listed on the package I see that it's part of a potential scam. Again I didn't order this and there's no request for any payment. Is this evidence and should I send it somewhere?

Phishing - Online REWARDS Package Brushing and Phishing Scam

My husband received a package in the mail -(USPS Ground Advantage). This package contained 7 random items, (1) Dez-comp Journal, Gai-Stretch Strap, PE-771 Tri Axis Pocket Pedometer, (2) strobe-safety light clip, (2) Zulay-Lunch Bags. My husband DID NOT order these. When I started investigating the package and the packing slip, I noticed the Company Name - Online Rewards showed a PO Box , but yet when I look the company up, they showed a physical address. The packing slip also did not indicate a phone number. When I did more research as to why I would have received a random package, I found this response: "If you received a package you didn't order, it's most likely due to a "brushing scam," where sellers send unsolicited items to random addresses to artificially inflate their online reviews by using your name and address to write positive reviews, even though you never bought anything from them; this is considered a fraudulent practice and you should be cautious about your personal information being compromised."

Online Purchase - Package delivery company keeps saying address is invalid

I ordered from shein and got a tracking number for package. The carrier to deliver my package(speedx) notified me that my address that was filed was invalid. I went in the edit any errors and gave them that, the next day order says it was out for delivery then later stated again that the address i provided was invalid and was returned to a facility. I tried finding the facility that they claimed it was at which was 20 minutes away from my address.
