Common amazon scam is to offer something for sale, put nothing in an envelope, and then send it to the wrong address on purpose, Amazons system is kind of dumb and processes the order like it went to the right person. Source: happened to me with persona 5 collectors edition

#1 Alton is going to have to explain why they think the package recipient is mad.

#3 Hey now, the devil made him do it! You can't blame God for fucking up a man's life (and the possibly even more fucked up way he 'fixes' it) when the devil made him do it. Oh, but if you fall for any of the devil's temptations you're gonna burn for eternity.

#3 I love that god saw one of his most devoted and said "what if I absolutely ruin his life"

Worse, Satan made a bet with God and God was like, "Bet".

#4 Not a 'tradition' so much as 'this is what we call it when rich people commit random murder'

As opposed to the daimyo sanctioned and planned raiding of random defenseless villages who were paying tribute to their opponents or were neutral, by nighttime samurai-facilitated arson and mass murder, then sex-slavery of the captured young girls and boys who survived the slaughter of their entire community.
Random unforeseen murder of a defenseless person in the street is very different from disproportionate, unsolicited surprise war, you see
sometimesarobot
Yeah, not that.

#1 "Gets nothin"? He did get the empty package.

And I see no reason to assume that the poster was "mad". They merely shared something unusual that happened to them.

#1 Sending empty mailers is a new way for data thieves to verify your address is current before selling your info online.

How though?

Faking a successful delivery to an address so it looks like a real sale and they can leave fake reviews of 'verified purchases' with your name and upping the amount of packages they've sold. https://www.uspis.gov/news/scam-article/brushing-scam

I guess if it was someone else's name they'd likely not accept it or try to return it
RipThemUpRatchet
If it’s sent via USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc, they’ll get a tracking number that notifies them if it’s been delivered or not, or if it’s been marked ‘return to sender.’ They don’t put a real return address on it of course. The one I got was from an address that’s actually a commercial food processing facility.

But they deliver to former abandoned crack houses. What to they gaf if it was delivered?
RipThemUpRatchet
They get the name of the person who lives at that crack house. The name & address both have to match before a delivery is made, unless it’s addressed to “current resident” (which gives them nothing.)
If someone wants to sell a social security number, name, address, and phone number, it helps to verify the name exists currently at that address, to use spam calls to verify the name and phone number match, and use free credit checks on SSNs. It’s for building quality black market databases.

No courier has ever checked my identity when handing me a package, so I don't see how delivery verifies anything other than the address exists. Which you can do with a map.

I hate to inform potential scammers of this, but USPS, UPS, FedEx, and Amazon Delivery don't care what name is on the package unless there's a specific forwarding rule set up to send someone's mail to their new address. Even if the package requires a signature, they'll take one from whoever's there.
