On Aug. 19, 2022, we stumbled upon Facebook posts that claimed Amazon warehouses were giving away pallets of lost packages for $1 each. The items included in the pallets were said to be appliances, iPhones, and various kitchen products. However, none of this was true. This was a scam. The posts read as follows: This Facebook scam for Amazon pallets of lost packages resembled another scam we previously reported on that offered expensive Dyson vacuum cleaners for $2. Clicking on the link in both scams led users to a page that asked for personal information and financial data. We strongly recommend against filling out any forms for online offers that seem too good to be true. We also advise readers to alert any family members or friends of our article who might be susceptible to falling for this kind of a scam. In 2020, the U.S. Better Business Bureau (BBB) published an article that said one goal for some scammers with fake prize giveaways might be to build up a following on the Facebook pages: In sum, no, Amazon was not giving away pallets of lost packages for $1 or any amount of money. This was nothing more than a scam.
