Amazon deliveries but not ordered?

[stabilio]

Not sure if this the right forum for this but my partner has had 3 Amazon deliveries in the last few months - but she hasn't ordered any of them looking at her account. All are addressed correctly to her.
All are low value items, mouse mat, shower curtain hooks as examples.
Is this some kind of scam going on as it seems a bit weird?

Sounds like she's the victim of a brushing scam - it's done to get higher reviews on the likes of Amazon.

Yup.
I had approx 50 parcels all full of junk, apart from the odd item.
Stopped as abruptly as it started.

I had this a few weeks ago and posted here : https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

First time I called Amazon they just said 'keep it or throw it' and said they would do something about it. The third time I pushed a bit further, they asked for the code on the label (which I assume can link the package to an account) and said they would deal with it. Not had anything in the month since. I'm assuming that the account ordering it was frozen or at least warned.

Nothing was of any use unfortunately. Pity.
