A Virginia woman named Cindy Smith received an unexpected surprise when she started receiving more than 100 Amazon packages that she didn’t order. The packages contained various items, such as headlamps, glue guns, and binoculars. The deliveries began showing up at her Prince William County home, and she ended up with around 1,000 headlamps, 800 glue guns, and numerous pairs of binoculars.
Despite not placing any orders, Smith decided to make the best of the situation. She distributed the items to people she met, giving away headlamps and glue guns to anyone who needed them.
The packages bore Smith’s address but were addressed to a person named Lixiao Zhang, whom she had never heard of before. At first, Smith suspected it might be a brushing scam, where vendors create fake sales to boost their product reviews.
Similar incidents have occurred before, as another woman named Liz Geltman faced a similar situation when her house was filled with packages of children’s sheets she hadn’t ordered.
Amazon investigated both cases and discovered that vendors were shipping packages to random addresses to remove unsold merchandise from Amazon fulfillment centers. These unsolicited deliveries were not the result of scams or fraudulent activity, but rather a practice by some vendors to clear their inventory.
It’s because hackers are paid to write fake reviews but a package has to be sent to someone that will be based on the review but they don’t know that but the reason they got so many is because it can be any item it just needs to show that a package has been sent so they used a cheap item like a glue gun or a headlamps and then the hackers sent the items to a random address and then they got the items
YOUR SO RIGHT
Are the glue guns and headlamps for free or no?
100 amazon packages. Wow… Surely I can have a ps5 ay?.
No, it’s because of China, China makes multiple workers follow the Chinese vendor’s money-saving scheme which they write fake reviews about crappy products supplied from the Chinese government and it makes them money. It’s quite smart but bad and the US should be able to detect that kind of stuff having the “Highest and latest Technology”

on the web the simplest factor to be mindful of. I say to you, I certainly get irked even as folks consider concerns that they just don’t realize about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as outlined out the whole thing
without having side-effects , folks could take a signal.
Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
