Have you ever received a package you didn't order, filled with items you neither want nor need? It's more common than you think, and it could be a sign of something more sinister than a simple misdelivery. This increasingly prevalent phenomenon, often involving cheap, unwanted goods arriving on your doorstep, points towards a potential brushing scam, or worse, identity theft.

You scour your online accounts, only to find no record of these purchases and no corresponding charges. This unsettling experience raises questions about the security of your personal information and the integrity of online marketplaces like eBay. The key question then becomes: How do you navigate this perplexing situation and protect yourself from potential harm?
