If you receive face masks in the mail that you didn't order, beware of them because the Better Business Bureau is warning consumers of the latest brushing scam. Consumers have reported that face masks have shown up in a regular brown mailing envelope labeled with Amazon and China. However, when you open it you'll notice there's no invoice or paperwork, just the face mask. The way this brushing scam works is that third party over-sea sellers send inexpensive items in the mail to addresses they find online with the goal to boost their reviews on Amazon. Then once the items are received, they post fake, positive reviews to improve their rating in an attempt to get more sales. If you happen to get these face masks that you didn't order in the mail, of course just throw it away since you don't know where it's been. You should also make sure to change your Amazon password just to be safe or you can contact Amazon customer service and report it as a fraudulent purchase.
