There was an almost identical scam which has been going on for a while called "Brushing"

Some of it is to get the "verified purchase" reviews, but the specific discussion was around the Alibaba IPO and whether it can be used to inflate stock price via fake revenues.
- molticrystal 6y agoI somehow got put on a Brushing list for a while, I was sent a camping stove, some XXL size pajamas, a bartender kit, and a Chinese wedding jacket. I only was able to track down the glowing review for the bartender kit, I have no idea where the other stuff was purchased from.
