Amazon Delivery Imposters Cited in NY Social Networking Post

Amazon delivery personnel were cited in a Nextdoor New York City community thread this week on growing incidents of package thefts. Thieves are stealing packages from the lobbies and mailrooms of unattended apartment buildings with intercom systems. One community member referenced a person wearing an Amazon vest who was “buzzed in” to a locked lobby by a building resident who assumed it was an Amazon delivery person. Instead, the person “carried all the packages that were in the mailroom out with them.” Another member noted “you can make and buy an Amazon Employee looking vest on Amazon” and gave a link to the page. A third Nextdoor member complained of Amazon employees “banging on doors and yelling” to get buzzed in to make a delivery. “Amazon needs to resolve this because no one should buzz an Amazon employee in except the person expecting a delivery,” he said. Amazon didn't respond to questions.
