Boyo once received a pack of toothbrushes from Amazon that no one had ordered, but apparently it's a scam, but not to the receiver but a way for the sender to get themselves fake reviews for "legit" sending of a "purchase". I'm sure there's a better way to explain that.

Oddest thing was that boyo had had dental surgery 2 days beforehand.

Oh he was suuuper freaked out. Even more weird: I was in Japan at the time and the toothbrushes had all of their information in Japanese.

OK I would have been removing any and all info about myself online and buying security cameras for the house lol
