By definition, ‘brushing’ is receiving an ordered merchandise to your home that you did not expect,” said Brian Ogelsby with Better Business Bureau.
The BBB says companies, usually foreign, third-party sellers are sending the items are simply using addresses they discovered online. Their intention is to make it appear as though you wrote a glowing online review of their merchandise, and that you are a verified buyer. They then post a fake, positive review to improve their products’ ratings, which means more sales for them. The payoff is highly profitable from their perspective.
A possible silver lining is that the government says you can keep whatever is sent.
