Someone was using my address for their brushing scam for awhile. I kept getting really cheaply made shit in the mail. Amazon finally helped me after a lot of work on my part and closed the scammers accounts.

The BBB also referenced the Amazon brushing scam, where companies would purchase products and have them sent to random customers so they can write verified reviews. But Nitu says what is happening to her is materially different.
