Ever receive a package you didn’t order?
I just got a random USPS package—an iPhone case I never purchased… and no charge on my account
Turns out, this is often a “brushing scam.”
Companies send cheap items to real addresses
It creates fake “verified purchases”
They use it to boost their online reviews
Good news:
You’re usually NOT charged and not in danger
But do this right away:
• Check your bank + online accounts
• Don’t scan QR codes or call numbers in the package
• Change passwords + turn on 2FA
You can keep the item—but it’s a reminder your info may be floating around online
Stay aware, not alarmed 🙏
