I received a ring from Tevin James in W. Hollywood CA. I'm in Ohio. This is apparently a "brushing" scheme.Criminals get your mailing address as a "verified" buyer thru Amazon. They send you free merch, and then write fictitious, glowing reviews of their crap products, boosting the ratings for their company and making consumers more comfortable with ordering from them.
They may have gotten your info from a data breach, so they may also have your SS number, bank info, and most important - passwords.
f you do receive packages that you didn't order, you are allowed to keep them, according to guidance from the Federal Trade Commission.
According to the FTC, federal laws prohibit people from sending you merchandise that you didn't order and then charging you for it.
What to do if you suspect you’re part of a brushing scheme
If you suspect you’ve been targeted in a brushing scam, don’t ignore it. Instead, take these steps:
1. Change your passwords
The biggest worry is that someone might have gained access to your personal information. This might mean that criminals have cracked your passwords and can get into your online accounts. Your immediate first step, then, should be to change the passwords to your credit card, banking, streaming, and other online accounts. You want to make sure to keep cybercriminals and scammers away from your financial and personal information.
2. Check your credit card and bank account statements
Next, log into your online bank account and credit card portals. Look for any suspicious purchases or withdrawals. If criminals have gained access to your online accounts, they might seek to empty your bank account or rack up credit card charges. If you notice anything suspicious, immediately contact your credit card provider and bank.
3. Report the scam
The Better Business Bureau recommends that you contact the retailers if you are involved in a brushing scam. If the packages you didn't order arrived from Amazon, then, contact Amazon's customer service department. Amazon can then perform an investigation and take action against the scam company.
Good luck!
