How does amazon wrong item method works?

As far as i know you need to order the item you actually want to SE and then another item on another different account

The thing is, where do you ship the wrong item? and do they actually link those 2 orders?

"Wrong Item Received Method Step By Step Procedure

1. Buy the Item you plan to SE
   
2. Purchase the wrong Item from the same company, on a different account, and no more than a couple of days later
   
3. Be sure the wrong Item Is sent to another address not associated to yours
   
4. The weight of the wrong Item must be as close as possible to the one you're SEing
   
5. When the package arrives (with the "SE Item") contact the rep/agent
   
6. Tell him that upon opening the package, a different Item was enclosed
   
7. The rep will ask you to return the wrong Item that was (apparently) delivered by mistake
   
8. Send back the wrong Item that was previously purchased In step 2 above
   
9. When they receive the wrong Item, It will be scanned and put back Into stock
   
10. A refund/replacement will then be Issued for the SE Item"

Sorry for hijacking the thread, don't think it's worth it to create another one just for this question...

The address used to send the second item must be completely different or can it be similar to the first one? In short, can we just change words order or abbreviate them, etc?

Just ship it to a locker or something similar if you don't have a different address to ship

To play It safe, opt for a totally different address.

What proof are they asking for? Just a photo of the wrong product?
