If you didn’t order it, it’s a gift and you don’t have to pay for it or return it.

Last year it was seeds from China.
Anyone here have knowledge on what’s going on with this?
Seems really creepy

Inexpensive stuff I can see being part of a study about delivery, but game consoles and solar panels seems in excess of that.

The story goes on to say his Amazon Prime credit card began to incur charges.
That takes it beyond “free stuff” territory.

“Then came a small sofa – and an alarming $459 charge on his Amazon Prime credit card. The sofa wasn’t listed anywhere on his Amazon account. But he was billed for it.”
That makes me suspect it’s actually on the Amazon side......perhaps a bad actor employee.

My experience with Amazon has been generally excellent; but I can vouch for this man’s difficulty in contacting them - it’s been a hassle the few times I’ve had a problem.

My wife and I are going through this right now. It's weird. Friday was our latest "shipment", containing a bunch of pastry bags, a melting pot/gadget of some kind, and a set of steak knives... it's like we won a consolation prize on an old game show.
I think it's what they call "brushing" myself. But who knows? We never pay for the stuff, we're never charged for the stuff, and most of the time it ends up being given to charity anyway.

Kids in the neighborhood watching, would be my guess.
or not in the neighborhood seeing if they can make the news. the new fashion activity.

First thing I woulda done was completely delete my Amazon account and have my bank kill my credit card issue a new one.

from the article:
“Consider using “passkeys,” which are easier and more secure than passwords. They let you sign in to your Amazon account by using your face, fingerprint, or the PIN that you use to unlock your device.”
Nothing dumber than giving images of your face, fingerprint or your phone’s PIN number out to Amazon or any other online company.

I once inspected a house for sale that was owned by a state politician who had to make a midnight move to get out from under the shadow of sexual harassment charges. Mid-inspection I’m greeted by FedEx with a delivery of alcoholic beverages that easily exceeded $2K. Called the listing agent about it, who told me to make it disappear, which I gladly did. The buyer I inspected for told me that he received similar pe-Thanksgiving deliveries reliably for the next 7 years until he tranferred out of the area.

While a bit of a pain, I change passwords occasionally.....especially if a credit r debit card is involved.

We had a few issues in the past with people charging things to our Amazon account. They were able to get through our password. After we went to two-step verification having an OTP to the cell phone, that totally stopped.
We’ve never received things we hadn’t ordered.
The times we did need to contact Customer Service (I think they call it Account Services), they’ve been excellent.

The amount of scammers out there today is absolutely insane. A few months ago my dad was using some cash app that to me looked suspicious and I warned him, there is no reason to use that freakin’ thing and sure enough, they cleaned out his checking account in one transaction, almost $4,000

He did that; but stuff kept going on:
'DeFiore changed all his passwords, and was issued a new credit card with “2-Factor Authentication.” Before it was even two days old, a new charge popped up.'
