Dodgy sellers – Amazon ‘brushing’ scam

If you've received a 'Suzhichou' branded scarf in the post, you've likely been targeted by a 'brushing' scam. Brushing scams involve dodgy online sellers sending unsolicited items to random people. They then post fake positive reviews of their products using the recipients' details.

If you receive one of these items, a fraudster has obtained your name and address. While this may sound worrying, you don't need to panic.

It's important to be vigilant as this scam can happen to anyone. Learn more about brushing scams and what to do if you've been targeted.
