Brushing, NY consumer protection describes international marketing scam

The scam...Brushing...You receive a package in mail with low or no value content. Your reception data is then used to write favorable product marketing reviews. Sometimes you are billed, often times not, as the purpose is pumping products.
New York consumer protection id's this as an international marketing ploy. Looking up the supplier address yields a lot of complaints, Many of them written in Chinese script. I have never clicked on a temu ad.
Advice from NY consumer protection is to throw away the unrequested product or return it. But most important is to monitor your credit cards and credit reports for bad charges or unwanted credit applications. Reviewing the USPS tracking, it goes back to a 711 shop in ?New York

TLDR: A seller sends crap to you using an account they set and then leave a review on said product to boost their rating score. Recipient isn't charged for it so the only victims are the people who read the fake reviews.
Thought this was happening to me a month ago. Got several Amazon packages addressed to a name I didn't recognize but my address. Turns out it was a guy who rented the place 3 years ago and his brother still had the old address.
