Comment on My friend on social refuses to see how this is a pyramid scheme

It’s a twofold scam.
One, because the person is buying new, it’s driving up sales to a bunch of “confirmed” addresses, which is an important metric for Amazon sales.
Two, the “random” destination is a second customer’s address, and the friend is being an unwitting proxy in a drop shipping scheme.

Wouldn’t the drop shipping scheme require the scammers to know which books they need? In this case they are taking blind submissions, how would a drop ship operation work if you don’t know what your possible inventory will be?

Realistically, you're getting 36 copies of Dyanetics

You mean dianetics? The Hubbard pre-scientology alternative to psychiatrics?
