Chapter 4: How do smart bulbs automate pest control at sunset?

69.418 - 91.203 Kim Komando

Winter's over and every pest is waking up hungry. Here's how to stop them. Start with your porch light. That bright white bulb is a neon sign that says, free food to every flying bug. Swap it for a smart bulb set to yellow or amber. Then schedule the color to shift back right before sunset. Set it once, your phone handles it forever. Next, grab an ultrasonic pest repeller.

It's what's happening inside their body. And one of the best kept secrets to looking and feeling amazing is collagen.

Chapter 6: How can you identify a potential scam involving deliveries?

126.556 - 146.604 Kim Komando

You see, as we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, thinning hair, brittle nails, and just feeling less flexible than we used to. But the good news is, is that you can support your body naturally. With high-quality collagen from Natapath, you're giving your body the building blocks it needs to support smoother-looking skin, stronger nails, and shinier hair.

146.665 - 172.408 Kim Komando

And some studies also suggest collagen supplements may help support bone health too. You see, it's not about turning back time. I know we want to do that, but we just can't. It's about physicality. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Chapter 7: What actions can you take to resolve issues with unwanted deliveries?

176.476 - 192.273 Kim Komando

Karen in San Jose, California. Welcome to the show today, Karen. Now, I understand that you've been sitting there at your house and you are getting just a whole slew of Amazon boxes that, unlike me, you're not really ordering anything.

0

192.714 - 216.425 Karen

Absolutely. It's been a whirlwind. Yeah, the boxes actually don't have any of the Amazon signature or what you normally see with Amazon boxes. They're just generic ones that say made in China on the outside, because these are coming directly from the seller in China to the consumer in the U.S.

0

217.526 - 222.834 Kim Komando

Oh, wow. So so how did this did you just wake up one day and then suddenly you had all these boxes?

Chapter 8: What are the long-term implications of not addressing delivery scams?

223.074 - 247.528 Karen

Is that what happened? It started with one box and it had my address. And then but the name above the address was it said Liu Sansan, L-I-U-S-A-N-S-A-N, all one word. And I'm like, there's nobody by that name here. Went to my neighbors. I was like, do you know anybody that maybe they're one digit off? Maybe somebody made a mistake. And they're like, no, not me, not me.

248.129 - 274.946 Karen

So I ended up taking that to USPS and I happened to be friendly with the woman that owns the store, so she kind of helped. She's like, I'm not quite sure what we could do, but you can leave it here. And then it just, they kept coming and coming. And no rhyme or reason, some weeks would be nothing, and some weeks would be 20.

0

276.648 - 279.852 Kim Komando

So what is inside all the boxes?

0

281.014 - 292.15 Unknown

Oh, they're all... basically generic Chinese car seat covers, like faux leather ones.

0

292.511 - 293.512 Kim Komando

Oh, nice. Yes.

294.473 - 321.69 Karen

And what this seller is doing, it's kind of a two-fold scam. They are selling these generic seats as seats that are made specifically to fit XYZ make and model, like Mitsubishi Eclipse this year. And So then they send them out to these consumers from China. The consumers get them. The majority of them, it probably doesn't fit.

322.131 - 343.339 Karen

And when they go to return, they find out that they have to pay return shipping to the quote-unquote return center for the seller. So my guess is a lot of people are just like, well, it's not worth it. And I realized actually yesterday that that's probably why they chose a California address. I'm 30 minutes from the ocean.

343.724 - 353.218 Karen

So that means there's more of a chance of it costing too much if you choose one of the coasts than if you had something in the middle.

353.839 - 356.183 Kim Komando

Oh. What did Amazon say?
