John DiFiore who is a resident of Woodside California is telling persons to beware of a scam called "Brushing" which is when an Amazon seller would send packages to their victims packages that they did not order to boost positive reviews.
John is lucky that he and his wife Jan did contact Amazon to inform them that they never ordered the packages from Amazon that had a bill of around $1,000 dollars which was refunded to their bank account.
It is a shame that some persons get their idea of trying to deceive customers by sending them packages that they did not order in the first place.

It sounds like the resident's bank account details were hacked from Amazon too then. If John did not order the goods, how else did the scammer get hold of his bank account details, yet alone, to withdraw funds from it?
These large companies need to up their security, and ensure that personal details are not abused by scammers like this.

I can't understand how they could even do that. I hope Amazon got rid of those scammers.
