WHAT’S A BRUSHING SCAM?

In a brushing scam, you receive an item you didn’t order or wasn’t a gift to you. The package is sent by a seller to create a “verified buyer” status so they can write a fake review in your name to boost the item’s popularity and sell more of it. If this happens to you, closely monitor your credit card statements and change account passwords in case the scammers also try to charge you.
