Brushing Scams and Quishing Alerts | Indianapolis News
Description
Got a package you didn’t order? It might be a “brushing scam” — fraudsters fake accounts, buy their own products, ship them to you, and leave fake 5-star reviews to boost ratings. The package? Real tracking numbers make it look legit. Contents? Could be junk or nothing at all — like Theresa Lloyd’s empty box from Evansville. Senders use made-up companies. And now there’s “quishing” — QR codes in packages that steal your info if scanned. BBB says: don’t scan them. If you get the package, keep it (it’s yours by law), mark it “return to sender,” and watch your accounts. Report to retailers like Amazon if it’s theirs.
