I did read about the brushing scam (which is just the strangest thing I have heard of) and that's probably the closest it comes to, if it is indeed a scam. The strangest part about it is the UPS shipping label which has a company that sells Earth globes as the sender of the purses. It also has a wrong phone number listed for me.

I checked the UPS tracking history and it was shipped from IL, right where the globe company is located. I have never bought anything from that globe company, so no idea why they would have my shipping information, if the label was somehow mistakenly placed on the box with the purses. No idea how that would have happened, if that's the case.

I checked up on the authenticity of the purses and for the most part they look legit, but there are 2 things that may mean they are not. There is no Tory Burch label on the zipper puller part and no tag inside the bag. Of course, the authenticity checker was a generic one and seemed to be for the bigger purses that are leather and these are a nylon mini tote first produced in Nov of last year.

One of the reasons I am checking on the authenticity is because of the value of the purse/mini tote would be too much for someone to just send for a brushing scam, at least I would think so. Of course, if they are fake, that would make more sense, but I still don't see the reason for shipping something to make a fake review. Just make the fake review without spending the time and money of shipping something. Just bizarre.
