@@blowc1612 sometimes those long reviews are fake, especially the “1 star” ones. Usually coming from a competitor. I was a victim of that on eBay. Ended up with 10 negative reviews from user names that had never bought from me. All 10 of them linked and recommended another seller. All long winded and detailed. The ironic thing is, I had only sold 8 of the product and ended up with 18 reviews, 8 positive ones and 10 negative ones. Took me months to get eBay to do something about it, course this was prior to verified review. Another thing I’ve heard of happening to other sellers, is a product ordered, after it ships they have the ability to write a review. They then cancel while it’s enroute and have the package rerouted back. They write a negative review, get their money back. I’ve also heard of sellers doing the same and writing positive ones. I personally scan the reviews looking at midrange stars, then I go look at reviews for the same product at other sites. It’s often not the seller but the product that’s crap...

Third party sellers have plenty of regulations and are policed much more strictly than people realize. This fraud tactic is likely used by sellers who use Amazon as their warehouse and shipper ... Amazon turns more of a blind eye to those sellers who completely depend on them because they're making more money all the way around. This type of scam hurts honest 3rd party sellers as well.

I got a security camera. Tried to send it back,but Amazon didn’t know where it came from. I didn’t want an unknown item in my home,so I donated it. Had a weird feeling to it. Guess it happens a lot.

Um... seems like a simple solution. Don’t let “buyers” write reviews - let “receivers” write reviews. After all - the person receiving and using the product is really the person that should be able to write the verified review.

The other thing that happens is when the reviews look negative, the seller deletes and renames the item. Then either that seller or another seller put the item out again, with none of the negative reviews that were there. I put a negative but balanced review on a product, then was surprised to see the item is still for sale on Amazon, without the review.

This is why I rarely pay attention to positive reviews...I always check negative reviews first because you know those are the real legit people.

That's a good idea.

This has happened to me. After about the 5th unsolicited package, I called Amazon and they had absolutely no clue what was going on. I donated all the items. It's very unsettling in a strange way. I guess our information is compromised in so many ways but not knowing how this scam worked really made me nervous. Like, what's the end goal? Now I know. 🤷🏾

This happened to me today. I received a storage cabinet piece of furniture, and ironically I was also expecting another piece of storage cabinet furniture today too. So the funny part is that the first large package that I thought was mine, turned out to technically not be mine. So I had to go back downstairs in my building to check if the other one was mine and surely enough it was the one I ordered. And the worst part is the package that wasn't mine, I had already opened up fully and didn't know what to do with it. I even triple-checked the box to make sure I didn't accidentally take someone else's package but it really did have my name and apartment number on it. So I decided to keep it and assembled it too. It's a very awkward situation to be in. And it's also the first time it's ever happened to me.

I never trust reviews. The only surprise is that people actually get things.

Until I saw this today, I did consider both the positive and negative reviews. Now, I'll trust only the negative ones. Good going, Amazon. I doubt I am the only one with this reaction. You could have prevented this, and now all your associated merchants suffer. If the positive review is well written, pointing out specitic details about the product, I will still consider them. Fake reviews tend to have the stench of generic spam.

They need to BAN 3rd party sellers that aren't from a _MAJOR_ company. I've gotten so much garbage that was "Amazon Choice" made by small "family companies" that weren't even close to what the reviews claim.

Thank you for a great segment, I had no idea about this and I always read and trust reviews.

I use to work for AMAZON (CC)and I can say with out a doubt that in the WEST Amazon do not care about fraud or scams or any of this stuff as long as they get a sale and their commission. They do not care. I use to see this all the time and its much worse around seasonal holidays and has exploded during the pandemic. We would report it but Amazon would always say it was not an issue and not to be concerned and actively dissuaded us to pursue these issues. There is a reason amazon has been so successful and part of that is they have almost no standards and will not punish sellers who bring in regular business. Sadly again this is mostly a Chinese seller problem simply due to the culture where misleading a customer is not as big a deal as it is or was in the West. Do not trust Amazon and always take to social media first to report suspicious activities to see if you are alone. More often than not you will be one of countless thousands. The lady at the end is wrong. You do not want these goods as you can be considered as part of the scam and have your account shut down as a result if you keep them. Also if you are sent items which might be embarrassing this could also cause arguments and even violent assaults as we had a number of complaints where a partner became suspicious of these gifts. There is nothing good about this scam and even those who temp benefit end up being duped on Amazon by fake reviews which they later complain about despite being part of the problem through their complicit actions. The problem is few people will see this and this issue is escalating daily and within the year become systemic causing entire legitimate sellers businesses to collapse hurting the Uk and UK economy once again while rival markets succeed. Amazon could do something, do a lot more and they have all the proposal and plans in place but they chose not to act because there isn't sufficient deterrents while consumers fail to complain and they are making record profits. We are making our own bed and we will have to lie in it.

ahh this happened to me a few yrs ago. got an amazon delivery that i didnt buy. it was a small battery operated candle. amazon couldnt tell me who or why it was sent to me.

This explains the potholders I received out of the blue from Amazon. Customer reviews are borderline useless anyway, and best read with an extremely critical eye.

Haha I’ve got that flapping fish for my cat lol

So that's why I own 5 pink heart cookie cutters now.

That explains the random toothbrush package we got last year. Amazon said they did not know why we had it. We just threw it away.

Three months after we moved, the new homeowner called to say an Amazon package for us had been delivered there. It was addressed to my husband, who NEVER orders from Amazon. It was charged to a credit card he NEVER uses. It was a $400 red Vitamix blender. My husband doesn’t even know what a blender is! I contacted the credit card company. They reversed the charge and canceled the card. I called Amazon and explained to the rep. He could find no record of any order on either of our accounts and no history of a charge to that credit card. I tried to return it, but without an order number I couldn’t generate a shipping label. The next person I talked to at Amazon couldn’t understand the situation enough to help me. I ended up giving it to the guy who bought our house. I didn’t need or want it and red is not my color.

Amazon needs to coordinate with the review sites to see if the same tracking number appears twice. And Amazon should create a page for customers to list packages and their numbers and the contents inside that came to the door unsolicited.

This happened to my husband. We were getting MULTIPLE amazon packages delivered EVERYDAY to him, for about 3 months in 2019. At first it made me think he was having an affair, because they were sending the most outlandish shit that I knew he would never use. The packages were just piling up. So he clearly wasn't buying all of this shit for another woman. Then I thought maybe he had opened a business and didn't wanna tell me. The packages were so excessive.

We just started receiving expensive packages from Amazon fulfillment warehouses. Called to tell Amazon so that we could send them back and the CS rep was like "we can't disclose our sellers personal information". Funny thing is they are being shipped to our address in our nicknames. She also asked for our Amazon account number or or email. We don't have one. Checked our credit cards just in case. Nothing. Oh well. Nice paydays for us every 2 weeks.

They send junk, so the mailman thinks you got your stuff. When you order something expensive, they send a dog toy. You contest the charge, and they say they sent your stuff. Your bank investigates... But the sender has great reviews.

This has been happening to me for the last couple years! Amazon couldn't or wouldn't tell me where the packages were coming from. They said that my account was fine and to just throw it away if I didn't want it. I've gotten some pretty good stuff though! From dog treats to a camera!

Send me the boxes I wanna be "scammed"

It happened to me but in a different way. In Nov. I ordered a Pampered Chef pizza stone. Because I was having health issues, I checked the stone, found it ok & put it away in the inside box & put cardboard boxes in rec bin. I missed to keep the label. Then about 3 weeks later when I felt better and had a spot for the stone, I found a note from Amazon at the bottom of box, saying it was a gift from a guy named COLEMAN ALMEIDA, whom I don't know. I saw that there is a well-known online gambler with the same name. That's when I noticed that the stone received was a Nordic, not Pampered Chef. FedEx was the carrier for both that Amazon & Ebay orders. Amazon said it was a mistake and told me to keep the stone, but Ebay washed its hands, not assuming responsibility for my lost stone-that never came to my hands. I was willing to donate that Pizza Stone if mine showed up. BTW, it's the second order I lose to FedEx, who assumes no responsibility for leaving packages exposed to weather or theft. I wanted eBay to find out what happened but they supposedly found no wrong doing and closed my case. The burden to find out was on me. ...Just because I received a package from Amazon that wasn't for me. I wanted my item-- I paid for it, but EBAY didn't want to assume responsibility. Who do I turn to now? Looks like nobody will address these deceiving practices. I'm trying to find a way to expose these other practices that affect buyers directly. Please, pass it along. It may well happen to you.

Sounds also like money laundering. What a great way to say a high priced item was sold, when it was a cheap toy. Keeping the money difference.
