- The Delaware Department of Agriculture said there are several reports from Delawareans who received random shipments of seed packets along with jewelry and other inexpensive items. Many of the residents said it came in packages with Chinese writing on them.
- Investigators believe the shipments are part of a brushing scam in which shippers send out low-cost items at their own expense in order to rank higher on e-commerce sites and create a more legitimate appearance for their profiles.
- The DDA said the seeds have not been identified but based on the packages there are multiple plant varieties being shipped illegally. Anyone who received seeds they never ordered should not plant them because they could be an invasive species, according to the DDA.
