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.
