Amazon Package Received as a Gift/UPDATE

Mistreatedbycs — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 16:17:28 GMT

I have no idea who sent me 1 package of candy dark chocolate and 1 package of white chocolate candy melts

Tells me its a gift from some decor group of never heard of them.

Tried to look them up and found nothing.

On the packing slip it tells me to scan and I can send a thank you.

Ever happen to you?

@Mistreatedbycs I've seen people on our local FB page talk about this. I wouldn't touch it nor would I respond in any way to the "sender".

It can be sketchy for a number of reasons. I would be wary of using it or acknowledging it.

But that's just me.

@Mistreatedbycs Can you afford to buy your own candy? Of course you can.

Pitch that candy in the trash and don't give it or anything else a thought.

Always trust what your brain is trying to tell you.

@Mistreatedbycs And the fact that you can't locate the sender is a big red flag that it's sketchy. Toss it.

I'd say it's a scam. If you have time, check with local police dept., state attorney general's office or consumer protection to see if others have received.

The scan thing is a huge red flag. And it could be very malicious.

@Mistreatedbycs I've heard this is a scam where a Chinese vendor will send a "gift" so he can say you bought the product then a glowing review will be written under your name, perhaps on Amazon or maybe elsewhere. My sister got sunglasses. They can prove the product was sent to you.

Just because I am curious @Mistreatedbycs I would call Amazon for further information. Wouldn't scan or click on anything and toss the candy.

@Mistreatedbycs Please just toss it. Better yet, try to destroy it so that no one or animal gets into your trash. Never eat anything when you do not know where it came from or what it definitely is. Looks can be deceiving.

It's 2 bags of melting chocolates, sealed, came in an Amazon plastic bag ak wrapped in another plastic bag.

Gharadelli melting chocolates worth about $18

There is abolustely nothing on FB or the internet about this Decor LLC and that's extremely suspicious

There's nothing about the bags that look like they were tampered with but yes, it's not worth it.

Someone posted the received "gift" from unknown source. I believe it was craft supplies -- indicated a # to call. they stated asked to confirm their personal info to continue getting these "gifts".

Sheriff office put out warning it's a scam beware. Targeted older people here.

smh

Any time I send anything to my sister, she never knows who it came from till I tell her.They don't put any papers in the box to tell you . Wait to see who says they sent it.

I would throw the package out and not respond to any request to do so.

there are many Amazon scams out there--good advice not to acknowledge anything tho----I probably would dump the candy too.

So I called Amazon and reported it.

What the CS did was send me an e-mail for which I checked

received as gift from unknown

added the Tracking information and submitted.

So if this happens again to anyone, that's what needs to be done, notify Amazon and you'll get an e-mail.

What is says is they will investigate.

She did confirm the package did come from one of their warehouses and that it was delivered by one of their delivery people on the truck.

So you can toss it, donate it, keep it or send it back.

I will buy my own and toss it. Thanks everyone I knew you all can help!!!!

I know it can be hit or miss with including a message,think you have to check off gift then you can leave a message saying Merry Christmas ,or Happy Birthday from me

But usually will hear from someone in the family letting me know that I will be receiving from Amazon a package,that call is helpful in today's world.

But I wouldn't take a chance unless I hear from someone I know that something is coming my way from them.
