Mystery Parcel Might Be a Brushing Scam

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Yodel have just dropped a parcel outside my front door which contained a Humeband. I haven’t heard of this company/item, and certainly didn’t order it (I’m very attached to my Garmin). I’m also confident that no one would order this for me as a gift. I have done a quick google and it suggests this may be a brushing scam? So someone just trying to use my name for a review? Is there anything I need to do? I have checked my bank accounts and cannot see any unusual charges. From my search I’m assuming there isn’t a risk I will be charged in the future? Or is this still possible? Edit to add that it was addressed to me using both my name and my address.
