Very bizarre. My 13-year old son received two such a generous package which he thought were his prizes from a techie youtuber’s online giveaway. No packing slip on one, and the 2nd one which we did not open had shipping info that Amazon could not trace. My son did not order (his Amazon activity and gift card balance confirms this) and no one in the family ordered it. The online giveaway site requested for his name, home address, email, and gender; no payment info. We did not know that he entered such contest at that time, only when he received the 1st package, which he thought contained his cool prizes.
HOWEVER, just found out a couple of days later that there were more than a couple of unauthorized and expensive Amazon charges on my credit card account. The CC was linked to my Amazon acct (but not on my son’s; he does not have access to or know how to use credit cards or even checks ). And his name/address is not linked to my address book. My son is very creep-ed out especially now that a 2nd pkg with unknown contents arrived again addressed to him. We are waiting for Amazon to get back to us on how to return those packages.

I received an item from Walmart.com that I did not order. Next day I found someone pulled about $2000 from my checking account. Watch out because someone has your information if your getting stuff you didn’t order.

Ok, I wondered if I was the only one this was happening too and nope, that’s not the case.
Two weeks ago I received a package from Amazon addressed to me, which is a common occurrence as I frequent Amazon. When I opened it, it was a mustard yellow shower curtain that I didn’t order. No packing slip inside. I immediately thought that someone I know must have selected the wrong ship to address. I queried my sisters and both said no, but thought it was hilarious. I phone Amazon customer service and was told due to privacy they cannot share with me who sent the item and suggested it may be a gift and to keep it. haha….I have glass shower doors, can’t even make use of this item.

I threw the package in the spare bedroom and didn’t really think about it again. Then Two days ago another package arrives, again I get weekly if not daily packages so I assumed it was something I ordered. Nope…this time a fancy HDMI cable, same scenario no packing slip, shipped from an Amazon affiliate. Once again, I phone my sisters and call them out “really you guys aren’t messing with me?” both deny knowing anything about it and this time and let me know how funny they think it is and that if it were them they would send me something that I would find funny.

Another phone call to Amazon, this time the CS rep is willing to research the packages with the shippers tracking numbers to locate the accounts they came from. He finds them and tells me the orders were placed on two different accounts and they only have my name and address as the shipping information. Additionally the accounts are incomplete and have different names on them. He verifies my credit card information is not on either of the accounts but is not able to remove my information from them. He said he will escalate the issue to be investigated and again states I can keep the items.

So weird, I asked if this could be someone testing a stolen credit card and he said he wasn’t sure but wouldn’t think they’d ship it to my address, that they’d ship it to themselves.

One of my friends suggested the stolen credit card idea as well, but put a spin on it and said what If they are camping out in your neighborhood waiting for packages to be delivered…WHAT?? that is scary, I certainly hope that isn’t the case. They picked the wrong house if they are hoping to snag packages left on the porch, I get so many packages that I am always checking and I work from home a good majority of the time and haven’t ever had a package stolen from the door.

Toys r us if you order more then certian amount of stuff is known for throwing in gift item. It doesn’t make sense the gift item ever.k think I ordered some Shopkins stuff I’m over it and they sent me boom co sticks few years ago. Small pack with mat. But unlike Amazon they typically write gift on receipt mine just said boom co. I don’t even look at those kind of items. I’ve heard other stories like that. There’s no hard and fast rule but they are known to do stuff like that at toys r us as premotion for brands. It’s weird when Amazon sends stuff and usually most of it to much effort to take back.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one this is happening to. Everyday for the past week I’ve recieved a package from Amazon. All addressed to me with no slip or return label. After the third package arrived (it was a breast pump and I’m not pregnant) I called CS and talked to a very nice man who told me that the packages were all sent from a fulfillment center in Kentucky. Nothing has been charged on my cards and there’s nothing in my order history of these purchases. He told me to keep or donate the items. Very confused because he seemed like it wasn’t a big deal and said it would be “investigated”. 4 days later and 4 more packages of the most random stuff! I’ve recieved a bottle of vitamin c facial serum, 2 phone cases for phones I don’t have, a breast pump, yoga pants that are too big, dog treats, a Christmas coffee mug, and today a 5 in 1 beauty brush from China that I have no idea what it is or how it works. I emailed CS and I’m waiting to hear back. I really don’t want any of it and will donate it but I’m getting tired of all the stuff being delivered. Does anyone that kept receiving items know how to resolve this?

We just received a cheap knock-off cell phone on our doorstep this past weekend. My wife called Amazon CS and they told her it was purchased with a gift card. Our concern is that someone has her name, address, and phone number (these were all on the shipping label.) Not sure if this is some social engineering effort or ID theft scheme.
