Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
If you received a scarf that you did not order with the package labeled "SUZHICHOU", you maybe a victim of brushing scam used to boost an Amazon store. Your personal data may have been leaked from an online sale but your financial data is probably safe. You should double check your accounts to be safe but you can probably safely ignore the scarf.
The purpose of a brushing scam is to try to artificially inflate the businesses with a sender's customer reviews and business presence to try to gain some legitimacy. In other words, it is a devious way to increase sales and obtain positive feedback by fraud.
A "brushing" company somehow may have gotten your name and address probably from legitimate orders on a Chinese e-commerce platform. That company may then use your information to boost sales and get positive reviews. They do this by pretending to be an actual customer and place an order via a fake account and then send the products via package to you. When the delivery of package is confirmed, they create a favorable review that appears to be "verified" by you on the platform.

Received a scarf, ordered a planter box. Don't see any charge on my credit card but replaced the card to be safe. Package was sent from "Tara Schmittgen" in South Gate, CA but that is probably a fake name or another victim. The USPS tracking history shows it was mailed from Santa Clarita, CA.
