MYSTERY Amazon orders arriving with the wrong name but the right address could be part of a “brushing” scam.

Residents in a street in Highgate have been baffled after a series of low-value items were delivered to their homes over the past two months.

Each have appeared with the correct postal details but a different name on the top.

Now it has emerged that third-party sellers using the online marketplace behemoth are trying to game the all important review system.

In a practice known as brushing, they send out the cheap goods, claim a verified sale and then leave a five-star review.

This “brushes up” the sales listing and makes it more likely Amazon will lift the product up the search rankings and show it to more potential customer.

“A comb and some cheap toy last week,” said one man, who asked for no details of his address to be published.

“Then I got a car wash squeezie. It was my address but apparently someone called Cynthia ordered it. I’ve lived here for 28 years – there’s certainly no Cynthia ordering combs.”
