Yes I definitely heard of this type of scam. The idea here is the amount is so low so you might not notice it going through your account, and when the item arrives, you won’t go to the hassle of sending it back for a refund.

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

Have this print that’s at least 35 years old and am trying to learn more about it and the artist who I think is named Paul Greene. It’s not signed in the usual place, so I’m not positive that is the artist’s name.

The negotiations in Doha are facing a setback and complex difficulties due to Israel’s insistence, as of Friday, on presenting a map of withdrawal, which is actually a map of redeployment and repositioning of the Israeli army rather than a genuine withdrawal.

I’m not so sure if AI will replace your human intuitive editing, it can proofread and correct grammar but it blandly regurgitates .. there’s nothing like a pair of experienced eyes on something particularly at the end of a project.
