We've been literally deluged with fake phone scams and spam e-mails about credit card entries for years. We had an Amazon account with an internet-use-only credit card (low limit/unlinked) left on their file for quick reference since 2014. Since then,that credit card has been hacked at least,6 times with amounts ranging from $200 to $4K. Each time,our M/C carrier reversed the charges and contacted Amazon about the fraudulent use. A week before last Christmas,a package arrived from DHL containing a child's action toy figure and a Garmin GPS watch......to the tune of just under $1K charged to the on-line CC. The package had my name and address and when I checked,a charge was present on the CC. The only problem was,we didn't order it. No record of the order could be found on hard drive searches. Where it came from is open to conjecture,but,M/C Security verified the IPS address as coming from another account within 200M of us. I have my suspicions,but,nothing concrete enough to nail down. In the meantime,our passwords have all been changed with no further incidents. Amazon refused a return basically saying "You have the merchandise,we have your money,so,bugger off". No problem,I cancelled our account and deleted all data. The strange thing is that ever since,the phone calls have stopped and there's been no further hacking attempts. Some things just make you go H-m-m-m-m.
