Scam Description
A Facebook ad indicated several tiers of “boxes” consisting of Amazon unclaimed packages of electronics were available. The Large box I purchased for $50 was advertised to have 8-15 items of varying value. I only received 1 item in total that was worth ~$15-20. The shipment tracking was listed as coming from China, but the return address on the package indicated Reno, NV. There were several comments on the Facebook ad that showed “customers” photos of the boxes they received, and items they contained – suggesting legitimacy. My efforts to communicate via e-mail regarding shipment tracking, and product inadequacy went unanswered.
