Quick Tips

  • Brushing is when online sellers use people’s names and addresses to send them inexpensive, easy-to-ship items that they never ordered in an attempt to boost their sales and search rankings. 

  • If you have been involved in a brushing scam, report the incident to the retailer, change your account password, and monitor your finances for unusual activity.
