From what I gather it's a information gathering scam. I wouldn't mess with it.

Ive seen this explanation around. I don't get it. Most people's addresses are a matter of public record

What else are they getting? And what are they doing with it?

Looking more into it, the seller was "just launched" with no feedback on their main profile and 2 reviews that look like they came from fresh amazon accounts as well.

My guess is that you will get some shitty chinesium earbuds and the company that sent them will now have your address and will use you in a brushing scam.

I don't know but at best you're getting free radiation laced earbuds from China so I still wouldn't mess with it.

To me, everything still seems up in the air until those are in their hands. And even if they do get them, why couldn't it be both things? Seems being wary isn't the most crazy thing about this. But fuck ups exist, and I hope people get their free headphones without complication.

Thats not the scam though >_
The scam is they now have your personal info and you might get brushed or worse.

Good is perspective. Even if they were $500 dollars, someone with $2000 dollar headphones will be like "You thought those were gonna be good? Lol you".

All my gaming headsets were under $40 lol. I don't use regular headphones anymore cause I live alone and like being available when out now. But $40 dollar skullcandy headphones sounded straight to me back when I did.

Personal info like your address that's in the phone book? They can open the White Pages and find anyone.

from what I've understand this is part of those scams where they take your identity to make a fake amazon account with your info in order to write those obviously fake reviews that you see all over amazon. you might receive some unsolicited items so that the review of those products can have one of those verified purchases symbol next to them. it seems harmless enough though, like you'll get free things down the line even though 99% of the time those items will be useless junk lol

Will probably end up with $5 or $10 of Amazon credit in the end.

But that is what I was hoping for so it's all good.

They are getting specific info on people they know have valid amazon accounts.

They can use that info to build a file on people.

Its not as simple as checking the white pages.
