Brushing scam.

And some quoted explanation, since that site has a bunch of annoying ads...

Quote:
Here's how these scams work: Third-party sellers on Amazon, eBay and other online marketplaces pay people to write fake, positive reviews about their products, or do it themselves. To be able to post the reviews, these so-called "brushers" need to trick the site into making it appear that a legitimate transaction took place. So they'll use a fake account to place gift orders and address them to a random person whose name and address they find online. Then, instead of actually mailing the item for which they want to post a review, the brushers will send a cheap, often lightweight item that costs less to ship.

Sending an item (even the wrong one) creates a tracking number, and when the package is delivered, it enables brushers to write a verified review. If you're on the receiving end, you usually aren't charged for the purchase and your real account isn't hacked — but you are left in the dark as to who is repeatedly sending the mystery packages. In many cases, there's no return address. You don't need to worry that anything bad has happened to you or will happen to you if you get a package that might be part of a brushing scam, experts say. But we all need to be concerned about the scams affecting reviews we rely on when buying products.
You are the bolded "random person."

Fire ants are making my okra rows from one end to the other. They know what it is are are waiting for aphids to come along. I know what okra is and I know what fire ants are. I know what they will enjoy and it's not going to be aphid milk.....

It's a holiday week and I have to work more than I've ever worked before - instead of being off not enjoying myself. Oh well.

It's 65° out this morning. The okra is threatening to migrate south.

Using an Amazon locker turns out to be problematic and difficult.

I guess we'll find out if it works (having a "mule" bring some stuff down).

The people who made this toothpaste surely mixed Elmer's Glue with chalk to enhance the tooth-brushing experience
