I had to refuse two more returned packages today. I'd love to know what this woman is doing - shipping to bad addresses and using

our street address as the sender.

That's five I've refused although I think a couple may have been 2nd time around. The PO can't seem to understand we don't want them.

my bet is fake return scam. "I shipped the it back to you, and it's been mishandled! look, here's the tracking info!" -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 18:28 5
- there was an article on this but I can't find it. Some dude has gotten hundreds of returned packages -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 7, 18:48 2
  - there have been a couple in the last little while, but I don't think this one quite fits either of them. one was a lady in BC getting 'returns' - mafic Dec 7, 22:49
  - I know there was some kind of Chinese scam, shipping items to random people and then submitting fake reviews. But those were seed packets not boxes. -- nm - Meg Dec 7, 19:02
- But who benefits? The package ends up in the dead letter office and tracking would show it 'undeliverable' and returned to sender. -- nm - Meg Dec 7, 18:38 1
  - buyer buys items. "something is wrong" and they need to be returned. buyer alters return label and ships empty box to a fake address with a fake - mafic Dec 7, 22:28
