An intriguing new form of spam called Brushing (ecommerce)

I received a 10cm cube box, containing junk jewellery labelled 'Cartier', a necklace with a strange pendant. Marked at value $5, with a docket inside showing CNY 15,200 (oh yeah, pull the other one!). Sent from Fuzhou, showing a Jewellery shop address in HK. Mystified, and wondering what the scam could be, I browsed a little.

Thanks for the alert. Does the delivery service have a means to report this? If the US Postal Service were involved, you would report mail fraud to US Postal Inspection Service (USPIS).
No need - it is harmless for you as the recipient, but defrauds later buyers who are deceived by the +ve reports and spend MUCH more. These companies frequently cash in and move on under other names. Part of the online ecommerce era!
