The USDA says it is investigating those suspicious packages of seed that appear to be coming from China.
The agency wants
anyone who receives an unsolicited package of seeds to immediately contact
their state plant regulatory official or Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) state plant health director.
USDA says early evidence indicates it could be a “brushing scam” where people receive unsolicited items from a seller who then posts false customer reviews to boost sales.
