tiktok seller sent an odd message request

hi sellers!! i’m an affiliate, and got a weird message tonight from a tiktok brand ive been working with. i’ve promoted multiple products of theirs and they never seemed shady. i can’t post a picture, but the message reads as follows:

“Hi, l'll be launching a lot of new products soon, but it might take some time for them to arrive in stock. I'll send you samples in advance so you can be among the first to try them out and share some great videos.
Also, I need your help with something: once a customer places an order, I'll send the product to you first, and then a courier will come to your place to pick up the package and deliver it to the customer. Would that work for you?”

the last part of their message has genuinely made me speechless! why on earth would they want to send me the package first to then ship to a customer ??

i haven’t responded yet bc i genuinely don’t know what to say, but i wanted some of your seller opinions on this lol

two phone lines added to my moms account??

on sunday my mom and i went to an authorized retailer tmobile store, to trade in my old iphone for a new one. still waiting for the kit to ship out my old phone for the trade in.

tonight my mom texts me this screenshot of 2 new lines being added to her account, same day and time we were in the store.

the lady did mention she could “save us $35 a month” but didn’t tell us how. upon checking these numbers it has no IMEI numbers so basically they’re not connected to any phones.

is this a huge concern? the $35 a month part scares me the most. i learned some reps at the retail stores will add phone numbers for extra commission, or to give us a better deal, but im scared ! is this enough concern to go back to tmobile and ask? or should we let it go for now. pls help calm my fears!
