Anyone seen this? Supposed to be if you get some seeds from China you’re supposed to call the Dept of Agriculture and let them know. You DO NOT plant them or throw them in the trash!
Anyone hear any theories on why Americans would be getting random unsolicited seeds from China’r?

The theory that's getting passed around is that it's part of some scam where a company creates fake orders on a platform like Amazon, or a dropship site, with random customer info they find online. Then they ship something small, and leave themselves positive reviews.
I don't understand the need to actually ship anything though. Presumably they're using EDI to pass things like order confirmations and shipping notifications to the marketplace, so it should be as easy as generating a shipping label to send the shipping notification. It doesn't actually need to ship. They could even cancel the label and get their money back.
idk though 
The pictures I've seen look like various citrus seeds, but I don't know much about seeds.

We have an ecological disaster in the US when it comes to pollinator's migration sources being cut off by agriculture and invasive plants
I seriously think this is propaganda to distract from our shitty land that is already filled with chinese species that need to be eradicated thru a green new deal type of reform
on these facebook groups there are bots that promote the use of invasive plants

I posted this in another thread, but I think it's probably a bunch of invasive species like that australian suicide plant. China trying to fuck with us.

its easy to squash a discussion if u seed the topic with related sensationalism that leads nowhere
we are probably on the brink of a tipping point and the pollinators western routes are cut off and shits drying up
but this story is probably just a couple big companies that had a buncha mixed up orders from preppers in a pandemic

I dunno, there's so many seeds being sent to so many different people in different states. You're talking a lot of money just on shipping, let alone the cost of the seeds. Whoever is doing this, I don't think it's a mistake. And I can't see any financial benefit from doing it either, there have been so many packages and seeds that they'd have to be losing a fuckton of money in the process.

It’s a perfect time for folks to get their home gardens going what with this pandemic and whatnot... coincidence?
China has vowed revenge for three different things now that I know of.
