Hi All,
I am a seller and a buyer on Amazon for a few years. Today, I received a package from Amazon that I did not order. The envelope had my correct name and address with 4 DVD’s of the same movie “Christmas Coupon”. Few weeks ago, I received another Amazon package with a curly hair, which I threw away and ignore. Is this happening to anyone one else? No invoice in the package for me to trace to see who sent it. Any help appreciated on how to get these to stop.

It’s called “brushing”.
Google: Beware of Amazon Packages You Didn’t Order—It Could Be a Scam
If you’re the victim of a brushing scam, that means your personal information—your name and shipping address, at the very least—have likely been compromised. Secondly, many of these “phantom sellers” don’t include a return address or order number on the package. If they were to mail an illegal product such as drugs or weapons to your doorstep, you could find yourself in some legal trouble. The best thing to do is to report unordered merchandise to Amazon to make them aware of the problem.

As long as you have the tracking number, a relatively intelligent rep can trace the parcel.
Thank you all for the feedback and information!
