They sent me a forehead thermometer (turned out surprisingly useful, hey!), a crappy USB powerbank, and a very compact sleeping bag.
I dismissed the first as a hiccup, but it was weird enough that I took photos of the packaging just in case. When the second arrived, I figured something was up and tried to open an Amazon case, but gave up because the process was frustrating. When the third arrived, I did more research on the scam and persisted enough to open a case, and I think they must've done something because I haven't received any more.
What's odd is that it would be in my short-term interest to have said nothing, and continued receiving interesting goodies. But it's in my long-term interest to have a marketplace I can trust. Will my action lead to that? Fuck no, not until Amazon pulls their head out of their ass.
I'm not holding my breath, and I'm putting a lot more effort into buying things ABA -- Anywhere But Amazon.
