This video was very interesting to watch. Last year I received three different rings! I never ordered any of them! I tried looking up the sender with no luck. The first two rings looked a like, came from a Tevin James. Out of Hacienda Heights, Ca. The third ring, different style than the first two, came from Online Seller. Out of Rialto, Ca. Like I mention, not ordered, and really not wanted! But no where to return them too. No way to do so! What did I do? I did not respond to their request to register. Not worth it! Sneeky scammers!!

The rings are cheap junk, so put it in an Amazon box and stick it on your porch. When it gets stolen, maybe the thief will scan the QR code and get hacked. Either way, it becomes somebody else's problem.
If it's Moissanite it's not junk. Moissanite is a lab grown stone far superior to a Cubic Zirconia because it's properties are very similar to diamonds. In fact, it is higher on the light refraction scale than a diamond. (refraction causes the amazing sparkle and different colors like prisms in the faceting). They are truly beautiful stones. I bet this is actually CZ or glass with a fake Moissanite certificate.
What the news didn’t tell you because of the protected class it wants to keep as the model minority. This is the work of Chinese scammers, they use fake Americans sounding names to do this using their network of Chinese factories to fill the orders for merchandise and they send it to America where a Chinese person is mailing it out the usps to Americans in hoping to steal their identity and banking information.

@@ToVisitOctoberExactly! I always say use that brain for legit business not illegal stuff. But doing it this way for them is easier, faster, and not really work. Simple as that.
Because reporters and the news stations don't actually want to dig any deeper into anything. You are better off sending these scams to TH-camrs that investigate scammers.
Was waiting for them to do that. The news never fails to do the whole investigation, never fails to leave out an important part of the story and never fails to leave out what happened after.
I received a package from Amazon a couple of months ago, its box of hair pin (probably 1.99). I DO NOT have Amazon account. When this happen a scammer is checking the card bought on the black market if it’s good still. Be careful out there and be smart.
Aside from the fact this is clearly a scam, my thought process is: Why would I insure something I did not purchase? Even if I decide to keep it, it's free. So even if I lose it, I didn't lose any money. Seriously people, stop being so d*** nice.
I thought the same. Why would someone warranty something they didn’t even order?? Seams like there might be more to this scam because if this is it, then the scammers return on the scam might not be all that worth it. These seemed to be fairly nice quality rings.
They never send me stuff. Just spam calls for me. Maybe if they sent me a fake Rolls Royce to warranty I would be more incline to fall for their tricks.
Especially here in the Midwest people want to do the right thing and help people out. Makes us a bit vulnerable to a lot of scams that can play on that. It's a sad state of affairs when the smart thing to do is just say "tough luck buddy" and walk away.
I've lived in the Midwest all my life, as did my parents, and their parents before them. Dad, especially, loved to help people who were in genuine need, but he also taught the four of us to never be suckers, particulary for anything that appears to be "free." He lived by the adage, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." It's saved all of us a lot of hassles, and we don't fall for much of anything, nor for anybody's hard luck stories.
@@jb6712 I'm pretty good on avoiding the "it seems too good to be true" stuff. But I still have to keep an eye on myself so I don't fall for a sob story. I don't mind helping people truly in need, but 9 times out of 10 it's a scam.

Keep exposing scams often, even if they are the same scams. There are so many people, especially older people who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and the result they feel stupid and fool and the devastation t hey literally can't live. Keep warning people. Most people don't know. about scams and many are gullible because they don't know. Protect people. from losing money and ruining scammers livelihood.
Sometimes I forget that not everyone is as online as some of us. When we think of information being available to people, if you're not on social media or interested in online news, or, as some might say, protecting your mental health, you could easily miss a scam as the scammers get more incentive.
I got one of those in S. California early this year, looked up info on line n realized it’s scam ….could tell it wasn’t real. Who would be sending a real diamond ring in unsecure mail???
My wife works for a museum... about 8 months ago I transported a $10 million statue from the airport in the back of our SUV. But that's not the funny part, the statue traveled in the luggage department of American Airlines from Cleveland to DFW. And how did it get to the airport? Uber... all 100% true story
Exactly! There's a number of QR related scams in the UK. An example is fake QR codes in car parks which are stuck over the genuine QR code. Bank accounts have been emptied.
You can scan it. But don't take action once your information is asked. A QR code can't automatically get your info. I always click on links etc. from scammers so that I can get to the bottom of their scam. A little IT knowledge isn't too bad.
I wont even scan QR codes at my doctors office. I am here. You see I am here. I will not scan a code. Also no to supermarkets who want me to scan codes
I kept waiting for them to explain exactly what “information” they can steal when I scan a bar code, as often mailers, and lots of advertising uses QR codes and bar codes. But apparently they didn’t feel that the most important part of the news report was worth reporting! 😂 So great, I won’t scan bar codes if I get a free ring in the mail, but I just donated money to a you tube channel using the QR code on the tv with my phone. Can that steal my info too? And again, what exactly are they doing? Are they able to get into all of my phones data? Such a useless news report!
I don’t think scanning the QR code gives them anything. But it would take you to a website where they’d ask you to submit a bunch of personal information in order for you to get your “warranty”
@@sasha28957 What you are saying makes sense, but I do agree with BD1234 in that it would have been good if the reporter had made that clear to the audience. I do appreciate that news organizations are doing stories on scams, it helps.
Fake name, fake address, as the woman said. P.O. isn't the least bit interested in who's mailing what, nor should they be, other than making sure nothing explosive is in any package.
The case should be easier to solve because using the postal service for fraud is against the law and they can be charged! There is no end to horrible people who use scams for their own gain!
They gave a legit address, just not the actual suite they supposedly occupied. They didn't ask for money--THAT would constitute fraud--but hoped to get people to scan the QR code so they could get their personal information. It's not something the P.O. has any control over, and there isn't anyone to pursue.
@@jb6712 This is a brushing scam. The goal isn't to obtain personal info. Weird how the lady assumed that when she also admits to not knowing why she was sent the ring.
Do you mean the ring as an investment? It only cost them maybe 5 cents or less. It's the same people that sell on Temu and Ebay. 15 years ago we used to buy the stamped .925 silver rings from Ebay for $1-$3 and sell them at local auctions for $10-$50... until the auctions told us they were not real. Did we know they were not real? Maaaaaaybe, but we are no jewelry experts.... The auctions should have known better, they should be the experts.
I do believe that if you receive something addressed to you in the mail that you didn’t order you have no obligation to do anything to return it. You can just keep it.
Are they sure it's actual moissanite? I've seen rings like that go for hundreds online. I recommend getting the thing appraised if you plan to hang onto it as a keepsake. I'm guessing these are more likely to be rhinestones only worth a few dollars.
@@childofcascadia I got a 1 carat Moissanite ring in 2010 and it was $500. The prices have come down a lot recently but it is still more expensive than a Cz. It's far superior too. They will test like a diamond.
California warranty law states that “If a seller provides a warranty registration card or form, it must clearly state that the consumer's warranty rights are not affected if they don't complete and return the form”. People from other states should check their laws but in many cases, you can stop sending in your Personal Information regardless of whether you want warranty protection
Police won't do a thing when no crime has yet been committed. They would only tell the person to either take it to the P.O. and return it to the sender, or keep it without registering (the contents of the package). It's entirely legal to keep unsolicited packages, per the USPS itself.
When ever I get anything in the mail that is not address to me, I either put it in the the mail box and wright return to sender or I will drop it off and a Fed/Ex or UPS location saying this is not me, I don't ever open it.
Legally, a person who receives anything in the mail that they didn't order, yes, they can keep it. Question is, why? Why not just take it back to the P.O. and return it to the sender, get the monkey off one's back.
On Facebook there where ads for a wrist band for weight control. They didn't mention for you to operate these bracelets purchase a monthly subscription at $14 a month
Here’s a ring you didn’t pay for and another backup in case the first one “stops working” so be sure and register it for the warranty even though you obviously won’t have a proof of purchase. This scam is going after some low hanging fruit.
I have mysterious mails all the times. I never open any. Once I shared with my boss, she told me to go pick the item. But I Never come to any post services to pick up because I know I don’t order any.
I got the same rings over a year ago. I never sent them back. My information was leaked on the dark web, but I changed all my passwords and checked my credit report.
How can a QR code get your information? They need to be more specific. QR codes can't gather information. People are taken to a portal where they enter information.
I got one a year ago. We did nothing. It was clearly fake so we didn’t care about the warranty and figured the company would send whoever a new one since it was fake. I gave to my young son to give to his first girlfriend. I found it yesterday and it’s in with his most treasured things❤
I wouldn’t scan a QR code even if I thought it was legit. I can just as easily type in a company’s site or search the internet for the site. You never know what’s in that little box (no pun intended 😂).
Many years ago I got a random phone call telling me that I had won a diamond watch! I was so excited! The lady on the phone was so nice!🙄 She said she just needed my address and some more personal information then she'd send it to me! I had never won anything before so I was very eager! But my older sister overheard the conversation and asked who I was talking to! I told her and she immediately told me to hang up! I was about to get scammed but she saved me! 😊
Where did the packages get picked up from? Even if it was a shipping service the carrier would have a log of the facility. This person is probably sending out dozens of these. Cameras or clerks might remember if they do this often enough.
I wouldn't dream of keeping something that wasn't mine. But it came to my house and I can't scan anything except with my eyes, so advertise you're missing two solitaire engagement rings - Two?!!! I'll meet you at the local PO.
There are restaurants and even at fast food places which encourage scanning for menus.. I always ask for the paper menu and dislike those kiosk screens.
Granted, ive just watched The 355, but has anyone checked the rings/boxes for watch/listen/tracking devices? And the courier will have payment details that should be investigated too. Where was it collected etc etc

If this comes in the mail call the police and or throw that mess in the trash.
Police won't do a thing when no crime has yet been committed. They would only tell the person to either take it to the P.O. and return it to the sender, or keep it without registering (the contents of the package). It's entirely legal to keep unsolicited packages, per the USPS itself.
When ever I get anything in the mail that is not address to me, I either put it in the the mail box and wright return to sender or I will drop it off and a Fed/Ex or UPS location saying this is not me, I don't ever open it.
It would be a lot easier to WRITE than to "wright." Huge difference in meaning between the two words.
This is such a good warning of being scammed.
At the end, I couldn't tell if she said we can or we can't keep unordered merch.
I checked. We can keep unordered merchandise. 👍
Legally, a person who receives anything in the mail that they didn't order, yes, they can keep it. Question is, why? Why not just take it back to the P.O. and return it to the sender, get the monkey off one's back.
On Facebook there where ads for a wrist band for weight control. They didn't mention for you to operate these bracelets purchase a monthly subscription at $14 a month
Did the wrist band like shock ur hand and make you fling food across the room everytime you try lifting it to your mouth?
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS lol
So I presumed you know this bc you brought one 🤔
Here’s a ring you didn’t pay for and another backup in case the first one “stops working” so be sure and register it for the warranty even though you obviously won’t have a proof of purchase. This scam is going after some low hanging fruit.
I have mysterious mails all the times. I never open any. Once I shared with my boss, she told me to go pick the item. But I Never come to any post services to pick up because I know I don’t order any.
I got the same rings over a year ago. I never sent them back. My information was leaked on the dark web, but I changed all my passwords and checked my credit report.
I be like okay, thx for the freebies. My niece would like to wear them when she dresses up as a princess.
IF something seems too good to be true, it isn't!!! BEWARE SCAMMERS are everywhere.
How can a QR code get your information? They need to be more specific. QR codes can't gather information. People are taken to a portal where they enter information.
Preying on kind souls. What a world.
i didn’t see the last word “information” at first and i was like wait WHAT!?!?! 😂
Why would you warrantee something you didn’t even order? That’s just weird.
I'd be questioning all of this honestly, too.
Ive never heard of a warranty on a ring lol
I guess I'm safe, I've never figured out how to scan a QR code.
thank you !!!❤
Wow. They are getting more slick. Everyone be vigilant!!!
I got one a year ago. We did nothing. It was clearly fake so we didn’t care about the warranty and figured the company would send whoever a new one since it was fake. I gave to my young son to give to his first girlfriend. I found it yesterday and it’s in with his most treasured things❤
I wouldn’t scan a QR code even if I thought it was legit. I can just as easily type in a company’s site or search the internet for the site. You never know what’s in that little box (no pun intended 😂).
Amazon sent me an 800$ Diesel watch instead of a bluray and I didnt register it lol
This happened to me and my boyfriend was like why would you order an engagement ring.. and I’m like nope we tossed it! Omg
These people are sick
Many years ago I got a random phone call telling me that I had won a diamond watch! I was so excited! The lady on the phone was so nice!🙄 She said she just needed my address and some more personal information then she'd send it to me! I had never won anything before so I was very eager! But my older sister overheard the conversation and asked who I was talking to! I told her and she immediately told me to hang up! I was about to get scammed but she saved me! 😊
I got one years ago. It’s been in the kitchen cabinet ever since. Regifts
@02:49 ""according to the ftc you can keep unordered merchandise" oh okkkkeeeee lol
🤣 i can't imagine anyone wasting time at the post office trying to return junk jewelry
1. I never scan QR codes at all.
2. Bonus, I'm keeping the ring.
Dang, get the fingerprints off of em.
Seems like the Financial Crimes Department should be investigating and shutting them down 🙄
Where did the packages get picked up from? Even if it was a shipping service the carrier would have a log of the facility. This person is probably sending out dozens of these. Cameras or clerks might remember if they do this often enough.
Scanning a QR code is the same as clicking on a link. Don't know what virus it may load or whether phishing for info.
You went to MIT didn't you?
I wouldn't dream of keeping something that wasn't mine. But it came to my house and I can't scan anything except with my eyes, so advertise you're missing two solitaire engagement rings - Two?!!! I'll meet you at the local PO.
Never scan any QR code
There are restaurants and even at fast food places which encourage scanning for menus.. I always ask for the paper menu and dislike those kiosk screens.
Oh, wow, exactly the same "advice" that at least 200 other commenters have made!
This will continue to exist as long as there’s GREED - greedy scammers attract greedy preys.
prey, not "preys".
@@requinremembers Unlike the plural form of “fish”, the plural form of "prey" can be "prey" or "preys.”
Nothing is free, it come at a price.
I did too , received 2 watches in the mail last week . I mailed it back to that address and I wrote , No Thank to a Scam .
Granted, ive just watched The 355, but has anyone checked the rings/boxes for watch/listen/tracking devices?
And the courier will have payment details that should be investigated too. Where was it collected etc etc
This isn't a new scam. It's been going on for a couple years.
