    Not a scam,  but they do send items out to people just for the reviews.
    those 5* reviews are scams though,  just people who work for the company. 
    I suppose none of it is scam,  just business. 

    As long as you check your bank account and they haven't taken money for it.

    Does it have your name and address on it, B3? If your local Herpes deliverer is anything like my old one, it’s probably supposed to be somewhere else. 
    I’d stick it in a cupboard until I was sure I wasn’t going to get a phone call from a relative asking how I liked the gift, and why I hadnt sent a thank you note, then give it to a charity shop. 
    I sent my sister a mail order present, and the company didn’t put any paperwork in with it. She did call to see if I’d sent them, as she was worried she had been hacked, and was going to find an unexplained charge on her credit card bill.

    At least it doesn't have the same risk as unsolicited seeds that could be sown by unsuspecting people and could be absolutely anything. I think I'd be inclined to give a scathing review focusing on the company's practices and saying that the tool is of no use to you.

    @Fire. Even if I was as pissed as a cricket or as drunk as a skunk, I wouldn't have ordered it. Anyway, it was addressed to my husband who only buys history books 😉
