Exactly! Or a family shelter. People need to start thinking rather than just complaining. I don’t see a problem with this issue, it would benefit me more by passing it on to someone else that can use these items.
She's the recipient of 'brushing'... the seller sends the victim absolute utter crap no one would actually buy meanwhile they're using that 'confirmed purchase' to review a completely different, far more expensive item with five stars. Amazon does nothing against this nor will they because it drives traffic on the product that is being brushed and that benefits Amazon.
How is it that a news outlet can do a story on this VERY WELL KNOWN operation known as "Brushing" and not one of them mentions it or explains it? This has been happening for years. Amazon knows about it. Sellers on Amazon make purchases themselves under false accounts and send the item to a random address, they then leave a "verified" 5-star review of their own product. This encourages more sales and increases profits. Amazon repeatedly claims to be combating this, but every single time there's a new story about this practice it's absolutely obvious they have no intention of doing anything to stop it. You cannot trust the reviews on Amazon. She could sue Amazon for harassment. She has tried everything to rectify this and it wasn't until the media started asking that they suddenly found the will to allegedly fix it.
This is not accidental. It's a scam the sending company uses to increase their ratings. It does not affect the person receiving them except for any hassle. The woman has no obligation to try to return them. As she was already told from Amazon, "Just keep them". Now she can do whatever she wants with them, but at a minimum, find a charity that wants them, or give them to the thrift store. Another possible use is a quilting club. They'll cut the sheets into squares and have a nice supply.
@@sickening_love1154 Mainly because it's a pain in the ass. I mean imagine having to load up your car once a week, every week, month after month, with a bunch of crap you never asked for. It takes take time out of your day (not to mention gas money) to get rid of them. And even if you were able to find places that do pickups, you still have to spend time out of your life coordinating all that.
It's so funny that this news team researched this and didn't come to the conclusion that the woman is a victim of brushing, or product review scamming. 😂
I find it funnier that they aren't able to provide anything more valuable than the woman found... not even reaching out enforcement about suspicious activities nor to a lawyer on potential risk and action. I can do a better job than that and I don't get paid....
The companies buy their products themselves and ship the products to random addresses to boost their sales numbers and to accumulate 5 star reviews which eventually leads to more genuine sales from customers due to an inflated trust factor. This is the biggest flaw in Amazon. You can never tell if sale numbers and reviews are real or not and Amazon doesn’t care to stop it since their still making a percentage off of each sale.
@ the companies are not in America. They are usually Chinese with no ties here. The product in this story is from China. Google, Brushing Scam. That’s the name of this scheme..
@@byronshepherd8415 Dummy accounts. It takes less than a minute to create one Amazon account. They only require name, email and password. I could make a couple hundred in a day if I wanted.
I’d create an Amazon seller account & sell them right back to Amazon. That’s a 100% profit margin! Some people don’t recognize a gift horse when they see one
Some rich people only care about themselves. Once they reach a certain level of wealth, they neglect opportunities that less fortunate individuals would be thankful for!
@@trex3003 That's fine but even as others have pointed out, there's always the option to donate. Handing something off is not time consuming like resale is plus she could benefit by writing off as charitable donation which would save her money on taxes. But like I said, some people are so far ahead that they neglect these opportunities because in comparison to what they already make in yearly income, this would be small potatoes. Everyone is already busy doing something else but no matter what you're doing you should be working smarter, not harder and that includes being a good steward of whatever life hands you.
How can they use the term "verified recipient" when they post a review, when they never even saw the stuff! Very deceitful. Amazon should care about this misleading system.
LOL, Amazon will NEVER do anything to control sellers. They will, however, put in all kinds of ways to control BUYERS. That's what a corporation is all about - MAKING MONEY. They will never do anything to limit that.
@AnIdiotMakesThings you say that, but it's basically just crap products that would receive mostly poor reviews. Hence the scam and then they can write false positive reviews. It would be amusing and fun with the first few, but once you keep receiving the same literal crap week after week.....and you have to find homes for it or trash them. It's just work for you at that point.
But this is more like Mail Spam and the seller is always someone different. They stay for awhile do what they set out to do. Close shop, make a new account and do it again. No doubt they have one person with multiple Amazon accounts.
I agree! Plenty of kids and homeless people in need, even if they aren't very good quality. Even animal shelters and vet clinics can use them.. goodwill red cross.. I do think the scam should be addressed legally but I don't think it makes sense to be returning things to Amazon or complaining other than just to bring awareness to the scam. I live in RV parks with people who are basically dying in dirty sheets all over the place.. Talk about this lady having a first world problem.
@@desalexandria in this instance i think HOA would side with the homeowner, corporate amazon not listening and continuing the overwhelming deliveries is on them
Brushing” is when a scammer finds a consumer's personal information and ships goods that they did not order. The fraudster then writes reviews in the recipient's name with the objective of falsely boosting the ratings or reputation of a company.
A scam is when someone is being swindled out of their money or some other possession. This is not a scam. It's questionable, but not illegal. This woman's address likely wasn't stolen; phone books still exist and you can know a person's address just by walking or driving down their street and seeing the house numbers. There is no fraud. Also, the schemer didn't buy items in the recipient's name using the recipient's Amazon account. They used their own account and put the recipient's name as an optional delivery address (you can have multiple delivery addresses on your Amazon account; you just choose the one you want your order delivered to and Amazon will send it to that address). The item's seller gets paid and the buyer gets to write product reviews for the items they purchased. It is legal to write product reviews for money, and I already explained how easy it is to get someone's address without stealing their personal information and how Amazon allows customers to add additional delivery addresses in their account. This lady was inconvenienced at best, but she's not a crime victim.
So what? Take the goods that aren't ordered to a charity. If you don't have to pay for them, this is a great way to help others at a scammer's expense.
Amazon said to keep them. You got it, Amazon! FREE donations to local charities! $20 a pop for some bedding? FREE money! Recycled cardboard! All at the expense of someone else's credit card.
Actually it's the company itself that is sending the packages so the loss to them is the shipping costs. If they wanted to create a brushing scam they should just send them to Good Will or some other place that would end up donating them to people in need and then make their fake reviews.
@JerseyKanna Awwww, poor baby! It takes two minutes to tear down a box. If you can post on social media, you have time to tear down a box. Take the goods to a charity, and thank god you aren't as impoverished as others are.
They are using her address to ship the items to while they leave reviews on other items as if they are real. I get random things in the mail from Amazon too and the conclusion was just that.
80 sets of the same bedding set can easily become a storage headache for even a place that accepts donations of that sort. So then she's stuck trying to find multiple places who want multiple set of the same sheets. Everyone says "Oh it's a great thing", but most people can't bear to spend an extra minute in traffic, never mind find themselves forced to keep spending their time finding places to donate these unwanted goods.
I'm not sur wth your talking about bedding is always needed. Why do you have to tell people how to be human. Give them away...If your life is so awesome then you have an extra five minutes to spare helping others and its a tax right off. Nothing she is doing is benefiting anyone but herself. She only wants attention and she got it, so nothing else matters.
She needs to either start selling this stuff or donate it. I've had the same problem with receiving packages from a prior tenant at my address. Amazon said that I can keep them, donate them, or throw them away. So far I've had three packages in the past three months and since they contain items for dogs, I just open them and leave them at our housing community clubhouse for any dog owners that want them.
@@nunya3163 Yeah, because kids don't have beds and don't need sheets for them. Believe me, you priced them low enough, people will buy them. Considering there's no overhead, she'd make money no matter how low a price she put on them.
I had a delivery cancellation problem with Amazon a year ago. My mom passed away, and despite my calling and being reassured her account was closed, the packages kept coming. I'd call again, only to be told her account as still active! This kept going back and forth until I demanded to speak with a manager (which took DAYS). I was loud, and I was angry. It is so upsetting to be mourning someone's loss and having to cancel their account, but to have that request ignored and to receive packages for that person is hurtful. I told the manager that it seemed to me that they hire "YES" people. They say "yes" to whatever your complaint is just to get you off the phone. Of course, the manager denied that, but it was exactly what was happening. After going postal on the manager, he was able to close her account. Wow, magic.
Has TH-cam implemented a new filter that only allows idiots to post comments on videos? Has it ever occurred to these marketing geniuses that maybe the woman doesn't want to be bothered starting an eBay business?
Thank you. I can imagine if this happened to me it would be a complete waste of my time. It would all be donated, and I would still be annoyed to deal with the mountains of cardboard. This should be considered a nuisance or harassment or something.
@@nysunflower9439 Sure, just one more thing in a busy person's life to fool with. I hate waste of any kind and like to make the best use of everything, but there comes a point where it becomes more effort and distraction than it's worth and then I feel guilty and the whole thing becomes a horrid experience.
We have the same problem, "brushing" resulting in fake 5 star reviews. We receive one or two per week. We report each package to Amazon. But they keep coming. "We take fraud, scam, phishing and spoofing attempts seriously. " No, they don't. The online link to "Report Something Suspicious" is hidden, deep down in the help area.
Your house which you pay a mortgage or rent for is supposed to be a sanctuary. You labor to pay for the right to live in the home. It is not supposed to be a drop off for someone else's schemes and you should not have to fight to keep your home from becoming a dump. It does not matter what is in the packages.
Since they are so uncooperative, I'm sure she could work it out with charities to pick up that much bedding instead of giving it back to the uncooperative jerks to sell again
Take that stuff right to the thrift store or another local charity. I am sure parents would be happy to have new bedding for their children. Especially parents who may be struggling. The time it would take to take it in for donation would be 100% worth it!
IKR, if they can take the time to bring it to whole foods for a return, they can just give it away, some people lack common sense though. I don't even like kids and I'd still donate to them.
This is a review scam and Amazon is well aware and complicit. I’ve received several packages over the last 6-7 months of random things… they just say, “keep it”.. so I do. Looking forward to getting more 😬 … but seriously… this needs to be fixed. It’s called “brushing” and helps sellers pad their reviews with “verified purchases”. And since some people are curious, I’ve received lunch box ice packs, a giant hot/cold therapy wrap, some expensive brand name hair conditioner and brand name mouth wash… forget what else.
I would think local animal shelters might like them for larger animal crates for those recovering from surgery. Or other organizations might like them to supply to families in need.
It's not "brushing" these aren't orders being placed with Amazon. These are customer returns that the seller has given Amazon this address as the return point for the products they sell (children's bedding). Her taking them to an Amazon return point isn't working because she will eventually receive the same items again.
That's a blessing! ..... Get in contact with a Charity and have them regularly pick those sheets up. That's not something to complain about. 🙄🤔 If AMAZON couldn't care less about their stock .... Donate or sell it (as long as they gave permission to keep it)
She doesn't need "permission", it's the law. Sadly, a lot of folk don't know this and that's why they go as far as she did to return items she NEVER had to.
Problem with having to donate is you have to travel to the locations to donate; most will not pickup. Problem with living in DC, most likely a bonfire is out of the question. Do this to someone like me, and I will have a constant bonfire going for weeks unless a charity will pickup. However, I guarantee, if the driver pulls up, I will tell them DO NOT step onto my property and that means, they will go back with the item and I will never order from Amazon again.
@@jeffreymartin6369 Saint Vinnie sure will. Then it'll get stashed in a shipping container in the parking lot because they have no where to put it and too much of that stuff already.
I paused @1:03 -- it says "Vendor Return". I am a 3rd party seller on Amazon. These are what we call removal orders of customer returns (that were damaged and unsellable), you can have it set to ship the damaged items to an address on a regular schedule. Since many Chinese/overseas sellers don't have a place to send the returns, they use some random address (which in this case is this woman's home), and that's where they get sent. (Full disclosure, I also used to be an amazon Blue Badge employee for a few years (corporate employee, not delivery/FCs)) - this is probably nothing nefarious (such as review brushing), just some Chinese seller that needs a US address to send returns to.
I'd be donating them to the local cps office for foster kids or donating them to toys for tots so when they do gifts for kids at Christmas since Amazon said to keep them.
I got one of these two years ago for a variety pack of Doritos addressed to me. I was suspicious and didn't think it really came from Amazon because who orders a pack of Doritos from Amazon when they can just get it from a grocery store? It sat outside on my porch for a month before I logged into a very old Amazon account and saw what it was. I threw the whole box away then I deleted my Amazon account and changed the password on all my email addresses. I also started paying more attention to my credit score and bank information.
I'd love for it to happen to me. I'd put them onto Facebook marketplace & sell them cheap. So I benefit for my time messing with it & others get a really great deal. Or if nobody bought them I'd take them to a clothing bank for folks. Especially at Christmas time when kids might not be excited about it too much but the parents would be.
Ok so this is stupid. She has contacted Amazon over and over and they won’t do anything except tell her to keep them, so why doesn’t she just sell all of it. The person that they are addressed to obviously isn’t worried about it because they haven’t bothered to fix their address. So she should be able to keep all of it and sell it. That’s a good way to make money. It’s 100% profit.
Not 100% profit. If selling on Amazon, ebay, you have sellers fees, also sales tax and your own tax responsibilities. I'd be more worried about the potential fraud being perpetuated under my name/address. Would be more effort and cost to put up the items for sale than it's worth. It's not like she is receiving High $ items, she is just a random victim of "Brushing" (review fraud). And think about the shipping fees involved, that is why Amazon doesn't want them returned. It will end up costing consumers more as Amazon raises their prices to pass on these fraud/bogus costs to all customers (Delivery driver labor, Gas, Vehicle maintenance, Customer service dealing with people calling about the bogus packages, etc).
That stuff isn't worth a lot of money. . . You would be better off donating it and getting rid of it altogether. The problem is this is not happening once or twice, but MULTIPLE times.
1:47 -- YES THEY CAN...you have to refuse delivery it's apart of their policy. Also this is a common scam in exchange for positive reviews on amazon the problem is foreign companies use your home address for a confirmed purchase.
I had the same problem, on a smaller scale. I was getting Bark-boxes I didn't order, which weren't in my name, but were to my address. I couldn't get Amazon to stop bringing them, because I was neither the sender, or the reciever of the packages. I got them monthly for about 2 years.
That has to be annoying. That happened to me before and I called Amazon and got it taken care of. People keep saying to donated it but nobody wants to keep receiving packages that they did not order and Amazon should take care of it.
Put a sign up revoking permission for delivery drivers to come on her property and then trespass the next one who shows up by having that person arrested and the vehicle impounded. The deliveries will stop.
The mess is that this woman is so adamant about giving the sheets back. If Amazon are happy for her to keep them, and she doesn't want them she could donate them to charity or she could simply resell them. Instead she's looking a gift horse in the mouth.
Then you go pick those boxes up and donate them. She didnt volunteer for this responsibility. Besides those kid sheet from China could have toxic chemicals in them.
Thanks for volunteering to do all of that. You're such a wonderful person. Just contact that company and tell them to start sending all of those packages to you from now on. FRAUD IS FRAUD YOU NITWIT!
@The Peter Dislike Show @News Hodgepodge Of course, two pseudonyms making fools of themselves. She has reported the boxes to Amazon. Amazon have told her to keep the sheets. There is no fraud present. There are no grounds for a bill to be issued. They are abandoned goods with written evidence to that effect.
My husband keeps getting boxes of Air Heads Candy. 5 so far and we have been giving them to kids for their birthday along with a $20 bill and they couldn't be happier about it hahaha
I would pass these out to homeless. Would donate to the thrift they are going to charge $50 a pop to the poor. This is a blessing although she may not see it that way. Even if she set them out with a sign that says “free” stop returning them and give them away for free ma’am
yep ... that bedding for kids would help the thousands of HOMELESS kids ... keep warm this coming winter. Unfortunately, they don't burn long enough to create much heat
I would not return them, I know it's a hassle to have these packages arrive, but if you return them Amazon destroys everything. Please just post them on Craig's list under the free heading. They will be scooped up fast. Sorry this is happening.
This has been happening to my mother as well but with Walmart!!! Its very strange and we cant get it to stop, we called the walmart corp and they have no idea whats going on, they wouldnt and couldnt track where the orders were coming from, its insane. I know how this lady feels.
Rather than complain any more, just haul them to the local grade school, talk to the guidance counselor and give them to needy kids. You've made a good faith effort, time to be an angel to some kids.
oh, this is the best Idea YET! hand them out as incentives for good behavior, doing well that week, helping others and so on. Just make up something and get those items to kids who need them
Sounds great but sheets are sized and just giving them out to needy kids, or even to other charities that might serve kids, doesn't mean the kids have beds that match the sizes of the sheets. The story said she tried to give them away. They didn't expand on that, but I bet a lot of charities wouldn't take more than a few, if any, just because of the difficulties of matching them up with families. Most charities also have some storage issues and aren't going to want to store a huge number of items it might take years to give out.
this woman lacks common sense, or her last name is Trunchbull, I don't even like kids, but I'd still donate these items...why not...I don't like kids, doesn't translate to I hate them.
To anyone wondering why this is happening. This is a Chinese seller using a random American address to set up an Amazon store. When that store gets returns they get returned to that phoney address end of story!!!!
That doesn't actually make sense since they are all from the same sender via Amazon distribution centers. People here have called it "brushing". That makes a lot more sense. Fake sales on which fake positive reviews are based.
@@CuriousEarthMan it makes perfect sense since you can tell all the boxes are opened and they stated that these are returns some sellers that don't do sold by Amazon choose to have items returned to their address. This is why it's the same item always getting returned
I was hit by a "brushing" scams like this as well; all the return addresses were bogus and Amazon refused to stop the sender from shipping me the material. The purchaser then contacting me offering to pay me to give good product reviews with my verified Amazon account for all the goods they had sent me. These are real purchases so Amazon had no financial incentive to stop the orders at the source. After about a 6 months of me refusing the sender's request to provide product reviews, the shipments finally stopped.
Its frustrating, however i would have added all the totals, donated all to a children's charity, and use that high priced receipt to get more out of my taxes. Or resell it quickly at a flea market.
Why do things like this happen to these people? I'd gladly take those sheets, give away/ donate most of them and use the rest in sewing projects and arts and crafts. By returning the item, the seller can recoup the cost of the item (minus shipping/taxes) so they have no reason to stop.
Well, if Amazon won't fix this and tell her just to keep them, then I personally would bring them to the local churches who would find families in need of those blankets. Last week I got a package I did not order. It had someone's address on it, then crossed out and a new label with my address on it. Meanwhile, items I did order are marked as delivered but I did not get them. So, I figured I got their package and they got mine. Amazon said they would have this fixed by yesterday... still waiting...
they using her address for scams, someone buys something that wont make it to them and they are shipping her a random box has proof of the fake item making it to person when it didnt, its old scam in the book that no one caught on to let lmao
This woman problem will be solved immediately after it was shown on social media. I will bet that the porch pirates will head straight for her house, and make sure not a single package is left at her front door. I will not be surprised if the porch pirates also engage in a serious brawl, to see who is getting the first picks. 🤣
A few years ago, I ordered a TV from Amazon, they mistakenly sent two! I called to return one, they basically told me to keep it, it's cheaper than sending it back to their warehouse! ☺
If you go to any store it you want to return anything like electronic to you to send it back to the company don't want to both with sending it back let for Christmas got a set of mini lights one set didn't work call the Company told me to keep them sent me two new set only should receive one call them back told me to keep them
I work at ups and this is happening to a lady in our area, I delivered 3 packages and she stopped me before i could leave and says she gets multiple packages everyday that all say theyre going to some type of receiving, all from amazon too, same problem basically, she said she was just throwing them away, I took them back unlike the amazon driver in this video apparently.
She could have given those sheets to local shelters for the homeless. Donated them to Habitat for Humanity for a family's new home. Could have even given them to a local Goodwill. I guess when you arent needy, blessings like this go unrecognized. She could have done so much good, instead she complained. I would have LOVED to be inundated with supplies to help others.🤷♀🤷♂🤦♀🤦♂️
How do we know what she did with the boxes of goods? We don't; the report did not address that at all. She just didn't want to have to always be bothered with having to do something with them ongoing for eternity, not to mention worried that she might be made responsible for paying for the stuff.

This 'quite burdonsome' problem is what the rest of us humans call 'first world problems' or what you're probably more familiar with, being a 'karen'. 👍
I get stuff here and there from amazon. They don't take it back. You have to either drive all the way to town or get rid of the stuff. It's ridiculous!
Mission failed lol I can’t imagine trying to give them back to the richest man in the world when he said I could keep them. How hard is it to call a church, thrift store, or animal shelter and say could someone come pick these up?
I would donate them as bedding or someone can also just use it as fabric to make things out of! Or you could resell and you have 100% profit & donate the money if you felt wrong about keeping it! I could go on and on with ideas!
Here's how she gets its to stop. She creates an amazon seller account. And then she packs up everything and returns it to Amazon for them to sell again. If she's lucky she creates a loop of endless free money. Once Amazon see's that, they'll put a stop to it lol
I have a few theories for as to what could be going on 1. Somewhere in an Amazon warehouse somewhere someone went to fulfill an order and a glitch occurred and the order can't be completed so basically in the system every time the person completes the order the system just reopens the order as if it's a brand new one. Not sure about the address though. 2. Maybe someone wants to ship a whole bunch of sheets out somewhere until it's some kind of scam thing where they're trying to make it look like someone bought these when in reality nobody actually bought the sheets but they can just claim look we sold 50,000 sheets. 3. For some reason the buyer just keeps using the same address over and over again and keeps wondering why their sheets haven't shown up and then just keeps buying more That last one only works if the person has dementia as far as can think of but I could be wrong.
Amazon isn't the only one that does "brushing". I had square foil envelopes that had nothing more than a blank mailing label inside come to my house for several weeks from AliExpress. I had never ordered from the seller before, and the return address was in Russia.
@@mercoid eBay -for sale -$4k worth of children's bedding.... price = $2k Ono, buyer collects or arranges pick up and delivery... that's how simple it would be to get rid and come out on top,,,but Libtards are "Victims"
I've come across this same issue with eBay. A seller who was very likely overseas sent me the wrong item, I returned the package to what happened to be somebody else's place of business in Brisbane City. Weeks later after bouncing around the country it was sent back to me with a return postage fee. I had to jump through hoops getting a receipt from Australia post which was not easy as I'd used Apple Pay and the card info was obscured. Thankfully the Australia post worker was able to get me that receipt and I could get my money back from eBay. Wasn't worth the effort to get my money back, but it's the principle of the thing.
If they’re toxic or harmful, go ahead and donate them to the poor children. Don’t forget you’re dealing with unscrupulous criminals, and most of this stuff comes from China where one of their favorite ingredients is antifreeze.
can you trespass a company though? I thought it had to be a specific individual not a broad sweeping "I don't want anyone from the Church of Latter day Saints ringing my doorbell"
@@larsonfamilyhouse Obviously, if she orders a lot from Amazon, it might not be the solution for her. If rarely, ship it to a work place or another address. If never, then it would work fine.
It's extremely simple to fix this. Call amazon and see if they got an account with your email and also an account with your phone number. I had the same issue with random packages and they found someone registered my phone number for an account and put my address on it. They do it for review fraud to show verified purchases.
It is not a prank, there are different reasons. Such as making the "purchase" seem real so 5 Stars can be left as a review. Establishing a residence. And also, like happened to me, it may be a fake amazon package with real codes, but there may be a code to scan asking for a review. The fake I had was so real, a tracking number, a Amazon SKU to a real item (not the one I got), printed faked outside sealing tape, and even the package was similar to Amazon's but not exact, I could tell because the letters were not the same resolution as all the others in my recycling.
Sue Amazon. This is nothing short of harassment. They've been informed the address is wrong and to stop sending the packages and Amazon refused. Lawyer up and go after them.
Why would you spend money on a lawyer for this? Hell, she can just toss the packages into the street if she feels like it. Myself, I'd open an eBay shop selling children's bedsheets, but not everyone sees the advantage in being GIVEN tons of stuff for free.
I'd feel like I was being stalked! She's hoping that by sending this stuff back to amazon they will eventually put an end to this harassment. One or two unordered pieces I can see but over 70? I'd be worried about something bad following!
🤨🙄🤦♀🤦♂️ you seem to be projecting your own paranoia onto this situation lol. You're reading too much into this and reaching disproportionate conclusions.
Take it to a children’s home for foster kids or a domestic violence shelter. It’s a blessing that could help someone!
Exactly! Or a family shelter. People need to start thinking rather than just complaining. I don’t see a problem with this issue, it would benefit me more by passing it on to someone else that can use these items.
That’s it🤣
Exactly just donate the stuff. Amazon does not care.
It's also a crime. Someone is profiting that shouldn't be.

Amazon does nothing against this nor will they because it drives traffic on the product that is being brushed and that benefits Amazon.
But how can a "confirmed" purchase of one item be used to review a completely different item?
Well if it helps the company its good and complaining about it is communism right?
I'm not familiar with brushing - why do they need to send physical packages? If they know her name, can't they just write the review as if it is her?
I was going to say that & only wish someone would send them to me. I need inventory 😂
I don’t get it
How is it that a news outlet can do a story on this VERY WELL KNOWN operation known as "Brushing" and not one of them mentions it or explains it? This has been happening for years. Amazon knows about it.
Sellers on Amazon make purchases themselves under false accounts and send the item to a random address, they then leave a "verified" 5-star review of their own product. This encourages more sales and increases profits. Amazon repeatedly claims to be combating this, but every single time there's a new story about this practice it's absolutely obvious they have no intention of doing anything to stop it.
You cannot trust the reviews on Amazon.
She could sue Amazon for harassment. She has tried everything to rectify this and it wasn't until the media started asking that they suddenly found the will to allegedly fix it.

I once got brushed. Received a portable razer. Not so bad. I contacted amazon and they said keep it.
they didn't even fix it, she got 9 more boxes after they interviewed her.
Sellers should use my address i like free stuff
This is not accidental. It's a scam the sending company uses to increase their ratings. It does not affect the person receiving them except for any hassle.
The woman has no obligation to try to return them. As she was already told from Amazon, "Just keep them". Now she can do whatever she wants with them, but at a minimum, find a charity that wants them, or give them to the thrift store.
Another possible use is a quilting club. They'll cut the sheets into squares and have a nice supply.
Yeah, not sure why she isn't donating them. It's not like Amazon wants them.
A quilting club... That's thinking outside the box. Respect lol.
Usually the products are serious junk - that is why the seller is "brushing."
@@sickening_love1154 Mainly because it's a pain in the ass. I mean imagine having to load up your car once a week, every week, month after month, with a bunch of crap you never asked for. It takes take time out of your day (not to mention gas money) to get rid of them. And even if you were able to find places that do pickups, you still have to spend time out of your life coordinating all that.
I wish they would scam me. I like stuff.
Could be a hero to local charities. Donate them all to disaster places
Yeah I’m baffled at ppls lack of resourcefulness. The second things aren’t“normal” they can’t function
👏👏👏👏👏 my thoughts exactly🤔🙄😜
❤️😀
Even children's charities don't need dozens of sets of children's bedding every week. They don't just collect crap nobody wants
It's so funny that this news team researched this and didn't come to the conclusion that the woman is a victim of brushing, or product review scamming. 😂
It's more like vendors products did not sell and were getting shipped back but they used a bad address
Are you kidding? You think they do any actual research anymore?
How does the scam work?
I find it funnier that they aren't able to provide anything more valuable than the woman found... not even reaching out enforcement about suspicious activities nor to a lawyer on potential risk and action. I can do a better job than that and I don't get paid....
Just goes to show how little they actually know about what they report on
The companies buy their products themselves and ship the products to random addresses to boost their sales numbers and to accumulate 5 star reviews which eventually leads to more genuine sales from customers due to an inflated trust factor. This is the biggest flaw in Amazon. You can never tell if sale numbers and reviews are real or not and Amazon doesn’t care to stop it since their still making a percentage off of each sale.
how do they leave themselves a 5 star review? Doesn't the purchaser have to do that? Or are they the purchaser and they just send them somewhere else?
Anyone with a brain can read through those comment and tell they are fake. Always ignore the stars as the mean nothing.
Hired writers?
@ the companies are not in America. They are usually Chinese with no ties here. The product in this story is from China. Google, Brushing Scam. That’s the name of this scheme..
@@byronshepherd8415 Dummy accounts. It takes less than a minute to create one Amazon account. They only require name, email and password. I could make a couple hundred in a day if I wanted.
I’d create an Amazon seller account & sell them right back to Amazon. That’s a 100% profit margin! Some people don’t recognize a gift horse when they see one
Exactly! I dont know what this lady is complaining about I'd be like keep them coming(!
You see her house? She dont care about a few bucks
Some rich people only care about themselves. Once they reach a certain level of wealth, they neglect opportunities that less fortunate individuals would be thankful for!
@@radfoo72 Yeah? Maybe just maybe she has a job and other responsibilities where she spends her time.
@@trex3003 That's fine but even as others have pointed out, there's always the option to donate. Handing something off is not time consuming like resale is plus she could benefit by writing off as charitable donation which would save her money on taxes.
But like I said, some people are so far ahead that they neglect these opportunities because in comparison to what they already make in yearly income, this would be small potatoes. Everyone is already busy doing something else but no matter what you're doing you should be working smarter, not harder and that includes being a good steward of whatever life hands you.
There should be a function to report a sender. If they keep shipping to the wrong address, they need to be held accountable.
How can they use the term "verified recipient" when they post a review, when they never even saw the stuff! Very deceitful. Amazon should care about this misleading system.
LOL, Amazon will NEVER do anything to control sellers. They will, however, put in all kinds of ways to control BUYERS. That's what a corporation is all about - MAKING MONEY. They will never do anything to limit that.
@AnIdiotMakesThings you say that, but it's basically just crap products that would receive mostly poor reviews. Hence the scam and then they can write false positive reviews.
It would be amusing and fun with the first few, but once you keep receiving the same literal crap week after week.....and you have to find homes for it or trash them. It's just work for you at that point.
But this is more like Mail Spam and the seller is always someone different. They stay for awhile do what they set out to do. Close shop, make a new account and do it again. No doubt they have one person with multiple Amazon accounts.
It's weird that she seems to think she's somehow "stuck" with all this stuff. Just leave it out on the curb. Believe me, someone will take them!
dumb DC libs with no brain and expect someone else to do it for her
I agree! Plenty of kids and homeless people in need, even if they aren't very good quality. Even animal shelters and vet clinics can use them.. goodwill red cross..
I do think the scam should be addressed legally but I don't think it makes sense to be returning things to Amazon or complaining other than just to bring awareness to the scam.
I live in RV parks with people who are basically dying in dirty sheets all over the place..
Talk about this lady having a first world problem.
I will lol
Can’t just leave it on the curb lol HOA
@@desalexandria in this instance i think HOA would side with the homeowner, corporate amazon not listening and continuing the overwhelming deliveries is on them
Brushing” is when a scammer finds a consumer's personal information and ships goods that they did not order. The fraudster then writes reviews in the recipient's name with the objective of falsely boosting the ratings or reputation of a company.
So, they would need access to the victim's Amazon account to leave a review, right?
@@FeatherX no the review would come from the account of the person who purchased them (not her)
A scam is when someone is being swindled out of their money or some other possession. This is not a scam. It's questionable, but not illegal. This woman's address likely wasn't stolen; phone books still exist and you can know a person's address just by walking or driving down their street and seeing the house numbers. There is no fraud. Also, the schemer didn't buy items in the recipient's name using the recipient's Amazon account. They used their own account and put the recipient's name as an optional delivery address (you can have multiple delivery addresses on your Amazon account; you just choose the one you want your order delivered to and Amazon will send it to that address).
The item's seller gets paid and the buyer gets to write product reviews for the items they purchased. It is legal to write product reviews for money, and I already explained how easy it is to get someone's address without stealing their personal information and how Amazon allows customers to add additional delivery addresses in their account. This lady was inconvenienced at best, but she's not a crime victim.
So I can become Brushed I wouldn't mind it at all. I could create some kinda drive and give it to people in need in my community
So what? Take the goods that aren't ordered to a charity. If you don't have to pay for them, this is a great way to help others at a scammer's expense.
Must live in a porch pirate free zone!
Maybe they just stopped stealing the boxes because they only contained junk.
Amazon said to keep them. You got it, Amazon! FREE donations to local charities! $20 a pop for some bedding? FREE money! Recycled cardboard! All at the expense of someone else's credit card.
Actually it's the company itself that is sending the packages so the loss to them is the shipping costs. If they wanted to create a brushing scam they should just send them to Good Will or some other place that would end up donating them to people in need and then make their fake reviews.
Exactly. It would be far worse if Amazon required the person to return the merchandise.
@JerseyKanna Awwww, poor baby! It takes two minutes to tear down a box. If you can post on social media, you have time to tear down a box. Take the goods to a charity, and thank god you aren't as impoverished as others are.
@D O right 😂😂 oh the horror of having to walk to the recycling bin in your yard.
@@do9138 As an old lady with arthritis breaking down boxes can be painful
They are using her address to ship the items to while they leave reviews on other items as if they are real. I get random things in the mail from Amazon too and the conclusion was just that.
am i the only one who thought id be selling this stuff on ebay. free money is coming to ur door everyday
80 sets of the same bedding set can easily become a storage headache for even a place that accepts donations of that sort. So then she's stuck trying to find multiple places who want multiple set of the same sheets. Everyone says "Oh it's a great thing", but most people can't bear to spend an extra minute in traffic, never mind find themselves forced to keep spending their time finding places to donate these unwanted goods.
Animal shelters desperately need that kind of stuff and so do ppl who rescue feral kittens etc
What about donating the bedding sets to foster children? Over half a million kids in the US alone who could benefit from them!
The VVA picks up at your door. Still a pain tho when u want it to stop
Hospitals or facilities with many children will take the same bedding
I'm not sur wth your talking about bedding is always needed. Why do you have to tell people how to be human. Give them away...If your life is so awesome then you have an extra five minutes to spare helping others and its a tax right off. Nothing she is doing is benefiting anyone but herself. She only wants attention and she got it, so nothing else matters.
She needs to either start selling this stuff or donate it. I've had the same problem with receiving packages from a prior tenant at my address. Amazon said that I can keep them, donate them, or throw them away. So far I've had three packages in the past three months and since they contain items for dogs, I just open them and leave them at our housing community clubhouse for any dog owners that want them.
What a hassle. Maybe your time is not worth very much.
Thanks for giving the food to other Neighbours.❤
I only wish this would happen to me, great business, no overhead!
If only it was electronics, and not children's sheets.
@@nunya3163 Yeah, because kids don't have beds and don't need sheets for them. Believe me, you priced them low enough, people will buy them. Considering there's no overhead, she'd make money no matter how low a price she put on them.
Tell them you will press charges for illegal dumping if they do not remove them. They came and picked mine up after telling them that.
I had a delivery cancellation problem with Amazon a year ago. My mom passed away, and despite my calling and being reassured her account was closed, the packages kept coming. I'd call again, only to be told her account as still active! This kept going back and forth until I demanded to speak with a manager (which took DAYS). I was loud, and I was angry. It is so upsetting to be mourning someone's loss and having to cancel their account, but to have that request ignored and to receive packages for that person is hurtful. I told the manager that it seemed to me that they hire "YES" people. They say "yes" to whatever your complaint is just to get you off the phone. Of course, the manager denied that, but it was exactly what was happening. After going postal on the manager, he was able to close her account. Wow, magic.
Has TH-cam implemented a new filter that only allows idiots to post comments on videos? Has it ever occurred to these marketing geniuses that maybe the woman doesn't want to be bothered starting an eBay business?
I literally saw 2 comments saying that sarcastically. You’re just a Karen and let everything bother you.
Thank you. I can imagine if this happened to me it would be a complete waste of my time. It would all be donated, and I would still be annoyed to deal with the mountains of cardboard. This should be considered a nuisance or harassment or something.
True, but she could log onto a charity that will pick this stuff up themselves.
@@nysunflower9439 Sure, just one more thing in a busy person's life to fool with. I hate waste of any kind and like to make the best use of everything, but there comes a point where it becomes more effort and distraction than it's worth and then I feel guilty and the whole thing becomes a horrid experience.
Thank you for saying this. Now I don't have to. These people must not have very busy lives.
We have the same problem, "brushing" resulting in fake 5 star reviews. We receive one or two per week. We report each package to Amazon. But they keep coming. "We take fraud, scam, phishing and spoofing attempts seriously. " No, they don't. The online link to "Report Something Suspicious" is hidden, deep down in the help area.
Your house which you pay a mortgage or rent for is supposed to be a sanctuary. You labor to pay for the right to live in the home. It is not supposed to be a drop off for someone else's schemes and you should not have to fight to keep your home from becoming a dump. It does not matter what is in the packages.
I agree....Amazon scam! This is infuriating.
Why blessings like this never come my way 😩😭
Since they are so uncooperative, I'm sure she could work it out with charities to pick up that much bedding instead of giving it back to the uncooperative jerks to sell again
Take that stuff right to the thrift store or another local charity. I am sure parents would be happy to have new bedding for their children. Especially parents who may be struggling. The time it would take to take it in for donation would be 100% worth it!
I’m sure someone would be happy to pick it up even!
true, but it would be really annoying to have to constantly go out of your way to do it.
IKR, if they can take the time to bring it to whole foods for a return, they can just give it away, some people lack common sense though. I don't even like kids and I'd still donate to them.
This is a review scam and Amazon is well aware and complicit. I’ve received several packages over the last 6-7 months of random things… they just say, “keep it”.. so I do. Looking forward to getting more 😬
… but seriously… this needs to be fixed. It’s called “brushing” and helps sellers pad their reviews with “verified purchases”.
And since some people are curious, I’ve received lunch box ice packs, a giant hot/cold therapy wrap, some expensive brand name hair conditioner and brand name mouth wash… forget what else.
I would think local animal shelters might like them for larger animal crates for those recovering from surgery. Or other organizations might like them to supply to families in need.
It's not "brushing" these aren't orders being placed with Amazon. These are customer returns that the seller has given Amazon this address as the return point for the products they sell (children's bedding). Her taking them to an Amazon return point isn't working because she will eventually receive the same items again.
It's a headache to find one single box that contains an Item you actually ordered from Amazon.....
That's a blessing! ..... Get in contact with a Charity and have them regularly pick those sheets up. That's not something to complain about. 🙄🤔 If AMAZON couldn't care less about their stock .... Donate or sell it (as long as they gave permission to keep it)
She doesn't need "permission", it's the law. Sadly, a lot of folk don't know this and that's why they go as far as she did to return items she NEVER had to.
after about 5 boxes, I'd no longer call them, I'd just donate or sell them.
Problem with having to donate is you have to travel to the locations to donate; most will not pickup. Problem with living in DC, most likely a bonfire is out of the question. Do this to someone like me, and I will have a constant bonfire going for weeks unless a charity will pickup.
However, I guarantee, if the driver pulls up, I will tell them DO NOT step onto my property and that means, they will go back with the item and I will never order from Amazon again.
Give them to goodwill or a church .. or sell them
The lady could not figure that out, dumb.
Apparently you haven't noticed such places are not taking things like that anymore.
@@KC9UDX someone will take it I assure you.
@@jeffreymartin6369 Saint Vinnie sure will. Then it'll get stashed in a shipping container in the parking lot because they have no where to put it and too much of that stuff already.
@@KC9UDX why are you so negative? I mean really is that the best you can do?
I paused @1:03 -- it says "Vendor Return". I am a 3rd party seller on Amazon. These are what we call removal orders of customer returns (that were damaged and unsellable), you can have it set to ship the damaged items to an address on a regular schedule. Since many Chinese/overseas sellers don't have a place to send the returns, they use some random address (which in this case is this woman's home), and that's where they get sent. (Full disclosure, I also used to be an amazon Blue Badge employee for a few years (corporate employee, not delivery/FCs)) - this is probably nothing nefarious (such as review brushing), just some Chinese seller that needs a US address to send returns to.
I'd be donating them to the local cps office for foster kids or donating them to toys for tots so when they do gifts for kids at Christmas since Amazon said to keep them.
I got one of these two years ago for a variety pack of Doritos addressed to me. I was suspicious and didn't think it really came from Amazon because who orders a pack of Doritos from Amazon when they can just get it from a grocery store? It sat outside on my porch for a month before I logged into a very old Amazon account and saw what it was. I threw the whole box away then I deleted my Amazon account and changed the password on all my email addresses. I also started paying more attention to my credit score and bank information.
This sorta happened to me 😂 but it was like 5 packages! I sure did enjoy them tablets and speakers
I got earmuffs. 😩😂
I'd love for it to happen to me. I'd put them onto Facebook marketplace & sell them cheap. So I benefit for my time messing with it & others get a really great deal. Or if nobody bought them I'd take them to a clothing bank for folks. Especially at Christmas time when kids might not be excited about it too much but the parents would be.
@@nysunflower9439 💀
Ok so this is stupid. She has contacted Amazon over and over and they won’t do anything except tell her to keep them, so why doesn’t she just sell all of it. The person that they are addressed to obviously isn’t worried about it because they haven’t bothered to fix their address. So she should be able to keep all of it and sell it. That’s a good way to make money. It’s 100% profit.
It's not worth the effort when your life is already full to overflowing with the burdens and demands of everyday life. Besides, it's just wrong.
Not 100% profit. If selling on Amazon, ebay, you have sellers fees, also sales tax and your own tax responsibilities.
I'd be more worried about the potential fraud being perpetuated under my name/address. Would be more effort and cost to put up the items for sale than it's worth. It's not like she is receiving High $ items, she is just a random victim of "Brushing" (review fraud).
And think about the shipping fees involved, that is why Amazon doesn't want them returned. It will end up costing consumers more as Amazon raises their prices to pass on these fraud/bogus costs to all customers (Delivery driver labor, Gas, Vehicle maintenance, Customer service dealing with people calling about the bogus packages, etc).
Missydee, it's poor quality goods. ..not worth any effort, so it's a burden.
That stuff isn't worth a lot of money. . . You would be better off donating it and getting rid of it altogether. The problem is this is not happening once or twice, but MULTIPLE times.
1:47 -- YES THEY CAN...you have to refuse delivery it's apart of their policy. Also this is a common scam in exchange for positive reviews on amazon the problem is foreign companies use your home address for a confirmed purchase.
I had the same problem, on a smaller scale. I was getting Bark-boxes I didn't order, which weren't in my name, but were to my address. I couldn't get Amazon to stop bringing them, because I was neither the sender, or the reciever of the packages. I got them monthly for about 2 years.
That has to be annoying. That happened to me before and I called Amazon and got it taken care of. People keep saying to donated it but nobody wants to keep receiving packages that they did not order and Amazon should take care of it.
I do! It’s free! Ppl desperately NEED that stuff
Imagine that happening if you live in a studio apartment. The property manager would have a fit.
Or worse, an HOA run by a Karen.
Put a sign up revoking permission for delivery drivers to come on her property and then trespass the next one who shows up by having that person arrested and the vehicle impounded. The deliveries will stop.
The mess is that this woman is so adamant about giving the sheets back. If Amazon are happy for her to keep them, and she doesn't want them she could donate them to charity or she could simply resell them. Instead she's looking a gift horse in the mouth.
Then you go pick those boxes up and donate them. She didnt volunteer for this responsibility. Besides those kid sheet from China could have toxic chemicals in them.
Thanks for volunteering to do all of that. You're such a wonderful person. Just contact that company and tell them to start sending all of those packages to you from now on.
FRAUD IS FRAUD YOU NITWIT!
It's nice until one day you suddenly get a bill when they figure it all out.
@The Peter Dislike Show @News Hodgepodge
Of course, two pseudonyms making fools of themselves. She has reported the boxes to Amazon. Amazon have told her to keep the sheets. There is no fraud present. There are no grounds for a bill to be issued. They are abandoned goods with written evidence to that effect.
TOO MUCH FREE STUFF!!! .. lol, this lady is nuts ... FORWARD the boxes to my house.
She should just start selling them on Amazon. 😂
Sounds like a business opportunity to me…
Right? Time to create a seller account
My husband keeps getting boxes of Air Heads Candy. 5 so far and we have been giving them to kids for their birthday along with a $20 bill and they couldn't be happier about it hahaha
If that was me, I'd have a new side hustle selling children's sheets.
They should pay her for doing all that work. In a matter of fact a lawsuit would probably stop them from sending it to her.
I would pass these out to homeless. Would donate to the thrift they are going to charge $50 a pop to the poor. This is a blessing although she may not see it that way. Even if she set them out with a sign that says “free” stop returning them and give them away for free ma’am
yep ... that bedding for kids would help the thousands of HOMELESS kids ... keep warm this coming winter. Unfortunately, they don't burn long enough to create much heat
I would not return them, I know it's a hassle to have these packages arrive, but if you return them Amazon destroys everything. Please just post them on Craig's list under the free heading. They will be scooped up fast. Sorry this is happening.
If nothing else set them on the curb. They'll be gone quick enough. Especially if you set it besides the trash.
Then she would have hundreds of strangers contacting and coming over constantly
where's the porch pirates when ya need them .. ?
This has been happening to my mother as well but with Walmart!!! Its very strange and we cant get it to stop, we called the walmart corp and they have no idea whats going on, they wouldnt and couldnt track where the orders were coming from, its insane. I know how this lady feels.
The Goodwill or any charity would be happy to recieve new unused items. And they will pick up.
Rather than complain any more, just haul them to the local grade school, talk to the guidance counselor and give them to needy kids. You've made a good faith effort, time to be an angel to some kids.
oh, this is the best Idea YET! hand them out as incentives for good behavior, doing well that week, helping others and so on. Just make up something and get those items to kids who need them
Sounds great but sheets are sized and just giving them out to needy kids, or even to other charities that might serve kids, doesn't mean the kids have beds that match the sizes of the sheets. The story said she tried to give them away. They didn't expand on that, but I bet a lot of charities wouldn't take more than a few, if any, just because of the difficulties of matching them up with families. Most charities also have some storage issues and aren't going to want to store a huge number of items it might take years to give out.
this woman lacks common sense, or her last name is Trunchbull, I don't even like kids, but I'd still donate these items...why not...I don't like kids, doesn't translate to I hate them.
To anyone wondering why this is happening.
This is a Chinese seller using a random American address to set up an Amazon store. When that store gets returns they get returned to that phoney address end of story!!!!
That doesn't actually make sense since they are all from the same sender via Amazon distribution centers. People here have called it "brushing". That makes a lot more sense. Fake sales on which fake positive reviews are based.
@@CuriousEarthMan it makes perfect sense since you can tell all the boxes are opened and they stated that these are returns some sellers that don't do sold by Amazon choose to have items returned to their address. This is why it's the same item always getting returned

You can send horse "fertilizer "😂😂😂
@@verderriscurseyomg i love you 😭
Or cheap dildos that can't be given out to people or shelters lol
That’s weird, because if you refuse a delivery the courier has no choice but to send it back to Amazon!
I was hit by a "brushing" scams like this as well; all the return addresses were bogus and Amazon refused to stop the sender from shipping me the material. The purchaser then contacting me offering to pay me to give good product reviews with my verified Amazon account for all the goods they had sent me. These are real purchases so Amazon had no financial incentive to stop the orders at the source. After about a 6 months of me refusing the sender's request to provide product reviews, the shipments finally stopped.
Its frustrating, however i would have added all the totals, donated all to a children's charity, and use that high priced receipt to get more out of my taxes. Or resell it quickly at a flea market.
Why do things like this happen to these people? I'd gladly take those sheets, give away/ donate most of them and use the rest in sewing projects and arts and crafts. By returning the item, the seller can recoup the cost of the item (minus shipping/taxes) so they have no reason to stop.
Well, if Amazon won't fix this and tell her just to keep them, then I personally would bring them to the local churches who would find families in need of those blankets.
Last week I got a package I did not order. It had someone's address on it, then crossed out and a new label with my address on it. Meanwhile, items I did order are marked as delivered but I did not get them. So, I figured I got their package and they got mine. Amazon said they would have this fixed by yesterday... still waiting...
Absolutely. Local churches need stuff.

This woman problem will be solved immediately after it was shown on social media. I will bet that the porch pirates will head straight for her house, and make sure not a single package is left at her front door. I will not be surprised if the porch pirates also engage in a serious brawl, to see who is getting the first picks. 🤣
Just an fyi, the couriers are not allowed to refuse your refusal 😂 Call the mailing company and get them fired. This is ridiculous
A few years ago, I ordered a TV from Amazon, they mistakenly sent two! I called to return one, they basically told me to keep it, it's cheaper than sending it back to their warehouse! ☺
If you go to any store it you want to return anything like electronic to you to send it back to the company don't want to both with sending it back let for Christmas got a set of mini lights one set didn't work call the Company told me to keep them sent me two new set only should receive one call them back told me to keep them
Smalll claim lawsuit for time spent dealing with the packages. If Amazon won't stop it, make them pay for it.
I work at ups and this is happening to a lady in our area, I delivered 3 packages and she stopped me before i could leave and says she gets multiple packages everyday that all say theyre going to some type of receiving, all from amazon too, same problem basically, she said she was just throwing them away, I took them back unlike the amazon driver in this video apparently.
She could have given those sheets to local shelters for the homeless. Donated them to Habitat for Humanity for a family's new home. Could have even given them to a local Goodwill. I guess when you arent needy, blessings like this go unrecognized. She could have done so much good, instead she complained. I would have LOVED to be inundated with supplies to help others.🤷♀🤷♂🤦♀🤦♂️
How do we know what she did with the boxes of goods? We don't; the report did not address that at all. She just didn't want to have to always be bothered with having to do something with them ongoing for eternity, not to mention worried that she might be made responsible for paying for the stuff.

Mission failed lol I can’t imagine trying to give them back to the richest man in the world when he said I could keep them. How hard is it to call a church, thrift store, or animal shelter and say could someone come pick these up?
It honestly seems like it would be better to donate them to a local charity.
I just love how he’s posing with the boxes and the Jordan’s at the end 😂
I'm wondering who's footing the bill for all those orders... hope someone isn't charging a stolen credit card or something like that.
I would donate them as bedding or someone can also just use it as fabric to make things out of! Or you could resell and you have 100% profit & donate the money if you felt wrong about keeping it! I could go on and on with ideas!
Here's how she gets its to stop. She creates an amazon seller account. And then she packs up everything and returns it to Amazon for them to sell again. If she's lucky she creates a loop of endless free money. Once Amazon see's that, they'll put a stop to it lol
I have a few theories for as to what could be going on
1. Somewhere in an Amazon warehouse somewhere someone went to fulfill an order and a glitch occurred and the order can't be completed so basically in the system every time the person completes the order the system just reopens the order as if it's a brand new one. Not sure about the address though.
2. Maybe someone wants to ship a whole bunch of sheets out somewhere until it's some kind of scam thing where they're trying to make it look like someone bought these when in reality nobody actually bought the sheets but they can just claim look we sold 50,000 sheets.
3. For some reason the buyer just keeps using the same address over and over again and keeps wondering why their sheets haven't shown up and then just keeps buying more That last one only works if the person has dementia as far as can think of but I could be wrong.
Amazon isn't the only one that does "brushing". I had square foil envelopes that had nothing more than a blank mailing label inside come to my house for several weeks from AliExpress. I had never ordered from the seller before, and the return address was in Russia.
I’m sure look up homeless shelter or children’s charity would be glad to stop by whenever she gets the packages and pick them up
I would love if this happened to me, lol. She can donate the items to a women's shelter, CAS, or sell the items to make some extra money.
If I were sent $4,000 worth of goods for free,,, I would not see myself as a victim ;p
She’s a victim. It alters the routine of her daily life. Handling that stuff is a burden she doesn’t want or need.
@@mercoid eBay -for sale -$4k worth of children's bedding.... price = $2k Ono, buyer collects or arranges pick up and delivery... that's how simple it would be to get rid and come out on top,,,but Libtards are "Victims"
That’s like walking up to an ATM that’s just spitting out money and getting mad about it.
right? how dumb is this lady
I've come across this same issue with eBay. A seller who was very likely overseas sent me the wrong item, I returned the package to what happened to be somebody else's place of business in Brisbane City. Weeks later after bouncing around the country it was sent back to me with a return postage fee.
I had to jump through hoops getting a receipt from Australia post which was not easy as I'd used Apple Pay and the card info was obscured. Thankfully the Australia post worker was able to get me that receipt and I could get my money back from eBay.
Wasn't worth the effort to get my money back, but it's the principle of the thing.
She needs to contact the Attorney General
Donate these to childrens charities!
Screw Amazon give the sheets to those in need!
Be the best thing Bezos ever did for the world🤨
CEO, En-trup-anor, born in 1964..
Jeffrey.. Jeffrey Bezos..
If they’re toxic or harmful, go ahead and donate them to the poor children.
Don’t forget you’re dealing with unscrupulous criminals, and most of this stuff comes from China where one of their favorite ingredients is antifreeze.
File a no trespass order against Amazon. Every delivery becomes a criminal offense.
But what about the things she actually orders lol
@@larsonfamilyhouse problem unsolved! 😂
can you trespass a company though? I thought it had to be a specific individual not a broad sweeping "I don't want anyone from the Church of Latter day Saints ringing my doorbell"
@@larsonfamilyhouse Obviously, if she orders a lot from Amazon, it might not be the solution for her. If rarely, ship it to a work place or another address. If never, then it would work fine.
@@rachelnyn5543 Only if she orders from Amazon; not everyone does.
It's extremely simple to fix this. Call amazon and see if they got an account with your email and also an account with your phone number. I had the same issue with random packages and they found someone registered my phone number for an account and put my address on it. They do it for review fraud to show verified purchases.
It is not a prank, there are different reasons. Such as making the "purchase" seem real so 5 Stars can be left as a review. Establishing a residence. And also, like happened to me, it may be a fake amazon package with real codes, but there may be a code to scan asking for a review. The fake I had was so real, a tracking number, a Amazon SKU to a real item (not the one I got), printed faked outside sealing tape, and even the package was similar to Amazon's but not exact, I could tell because the letters were not the same resolution as all the others in my recycling.
Sue Amazon. This is nothing short of harassment. They've been informed the address is wrong and to stop sending the packages and Amazon refused. Lawyer up and go after them.
Amazon will destroy her first. Not worth it. They have more money for lawyers than she does.
Why would you spend money on a lawyer for this? Hell, she can just toss the packages into the street if she feels like it. Myself, I'd open an eBay shop selling children's bedsheets, but not everyone sees the advantage in being GIVEN tons of stuff for free.
I'd feel like I was being stalked! She's hoping that by sending this stuff back to amazon they will eventually put an end to this harassment. One or two unordered pieces I can see but over 70? I'd be worried about something bad following!
🤨🙄🤦♀🤦♂️ you seem to be projecting your own paranoia onto this situation lol. You're reading too much into this and reaching disproportionate conclusions.
I don't disagree
Dang, give them to United Way or Habitat for Humanity!!
We had about 4 months of this (although not to this extent) a couple years ago. Eventually it stopped, and we donated the items.
Where are the Porch Pirates when you need one?
