I had a strange experience with the Wayfair company which I can't prove without doxxing myself but here is what happened: I received a brochure in the mail from Wayfair, which had something to do with a wedding registry, and offered discounts on products that newlyweds are likely to buy. I have never bought anything from Wayfair and hadn't even heard of them before this. What was most strange was that the brochure was addressed to a person who doesn't exist - a woman with my last name and a Spanish first name. I have a relatively rare last name and as far as I can tell there is not and has never been a person with the name this brochure was addressed to.
I was very perplexed, so I called Wayfair to ask them how this had happened. A very polite lady answered my call, looked into it, and told me it had been a mistake, but couldn't explain why this brochure had been sent to my address with the name of someone who doesn't exist. She said there was no account in their system using that name, and no purchases had been made by this imaginary person.
Maybe this is all meaningless, but it made me suspicious about how the Wayfair company operates.

It matches the pricing of onion web sites. If this is a hoax, it is pretty complex. Not sure what to make of it just yet.
The last time I found something like this, you could buy almost any type of slave and have them shipped to your door.
Black Lives Matter should buy these slaves and set them free' if they cared about slavery.
I wonder what would happen if someone just ordered one of these things.

It is the same as if my last name was McCain. They assume.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, sorry.

I mean that they know they can't just put their real name there, so they use fake names, but certain names might be on a hidden list. Maybe a part of your actual name is on that list. They assumed you were someone on the list. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/ellen-under-fire-for-wayfair-partnership-amid-conspiracy-theory

Thanks for the clarification.
