Something weird happened - the previous video I uploaded about this scam advertised on Instagram, was not quite correct, although its still a scam
Music for the Dashcam footage sequence was:

    I am aware that this isn't comfortable to watch, what with me continually handling the box like that, and I'm sorry. Backstory: this video took place during a period that, looking back, was a pretty low ebb for my physical and mental health, and you can tell this from watching the video. I can't change that which happened in the past - and I find this hard to watch too - but I keep it here as a reminder of the journey. Life is better now than it was then.

    20181110 Could "Brushing" be describing a way of brushing the patina of corruption off what they are really up to? This isn't the first video I've seen where someone was trying to understand why they were sent items they didn't order. Amazon.com is polluted with mis labeled and horribly inaccurately constructed postings. I saw one where a replacement part (handlebars and top tube with accessories pre-installed) is advertised as being an entire bicycle. It's listed as a "model choice" in a list of 5 models two of which are out of stock and others that look too good to be true claiming $500-$700 quality at a sub $150 price.

    @@Ilikeminecraft57 I can actually answer that one from experience. When I became old enough to drive, I was the son of a US Air Force officer, living in Japan. Japan, like Great Britain, drives on the wrong... err, left... side of the road. I spent nearly two years blissfully driving on the left side, until my family was transferred back stateside, exactly fifty years ago tomorrow. All I can say is that the Summer of 1970 was very 'interesting'. For the first few weeks I constantly found myself drifting across the dividing line and turning into oncoming traffic at intersections. It culminated with me finding myself going up the wrong side of Interstate 65 in Mobile, Alabama one night. Luckily, I just pulled over and waited for a cop to escort me to the next exit. He wasn't nasty about it at all. He told me that it happens a lot more often than you'd think, mostly with drivers from the English Commonwealth countries. He made a suggestion that I followed up on, find myself a good driving school and unlearn the past 18 months. I did, and had no issues after that.

    The battery on those devices are usually low on capacity. They are built to be used while plugged to the 12v car outlet. The reason of the battery is just to save the last video before you cut the power when turning the car off. The battery also has low capacity to reduce the damage if the battery gets exposed to high temperatures. As you know, this device is made to be strapped to your rearview mirror. In summer it will receive direct sunlight and also the car will be very hot. A high battery capacity could lead it do a dangerous situation.

It was decent, but huge, and it _never_ retained any footage it recorded. I got run off the road on an interstate about two years ago, and when I went to look at the dashcam it had "file corrupted" listed all over the storage card, and the only uncorrupted footage was from the first test drive I took with it.

    I reckon they only have a capacitor in there that holds enough of a charge to save the last video when the power conks out (which is possible when it's connected to the battery in your car if it gets into an accident). Also, Li-Ion batteries do not like being kept in high temperatures, which is also very probable if you keep your car parked outdoors in the sun, and will explode.

    I once bought a Cenoco action cam, from a local reputable (well, it was anyway) online store. I was surprised how cheaply you could get a simple 1080p action cam. Then I was surprised it only recorded at 480p despite having FULL HD and 1080p printed all over the packaging and even on the camera itself. The "1080p" on the camera came right off when scratched at slightly. I used to believe a store actually checked what it was selling. Guess I was wrong, as this blatant scam had made it onto the site.

    The camera has an internal battery but it's only function is to put power into the camera to save the data to the card when switching off the ignition it's not designed to power the camera for longer than 2 minutes. Looks like you have had a scam camera, but all the dash cams work the same you need to hard wire the camera to the cig socket.

    I tend to use fake names when ordering online. It allows me to track orders, and minimises chances of ID theft. In my experience, PayPal do not insist on delivery name/address matching card name/address. Downside is that the post office will refuse to hand over the item if you do not have some ID in the fake name. This is true, even if you can prove the address is yours.

    These dash cams (even non scam ones) are not meant to run on battery. They're meant to stay plugged in all the time. The small battery is only to provide power when the car is off, or the 12v power is off. Most of them have a motion sensor feature that will automatically start recording when it senses motion. Like if someone were to hit or vandalize your car while it's parked overnight. That's basically all the battery is meant for.

    The issue with bad sunglasses is that they can actually damage your eyes. The darkened glass makes your pupils open up wider so you are still able to see properly. With bad sunglasses though, the problem is that the UV filter is either really bad or non existent, so you end up exposing your eyes to more UV light instead of protecting them.
