Peculiar postcard from China, presumably a scam?

Has anyone else received a postcard like this? Obviously I have no intention of doing what it says, I haven’t bought any gloves from Amazon. The postmark is 19.11.2021 so it’s taken a wee while to get here!
Just thought I would warm GNs of yet another presumed scam ?

I got one along with other Christmas cards. I'd forgotten until now as it went straight in the bin with the rest of the junk mail.

Is this a way of getting positive reviews for a product that you haven’t ordered and if you have ordered them you haven’t received them and so shouldn’t be leaving a review.?

I haven’t received a postcard but I ordered a notebook and received a small magnetic butterfly, the instructions in the packet were similar to yours, only for a notebook. I notified Amazon and received an immediate refund, but this was a couple of years ago.

If you do not want people to know your address maybe you should cover the postcode.

I have had similar and have thrown them without really reading them. I would assume some people do reply otherwise they would not be sent.

It is useful for scams to be flagged on here as a reminder to be aware.

There are lots of the same sort of thing on Internet.
You only pay the postage and you get a super telephone, hoover or something.
They ask for your bank details to pay the postage, 2 quid or so, then take more out of your bank at will.
It's a real hassle, and so very frequent that I get at least 1 a day!
Bin it.
