Re: Account hacked
Hi Primus!
Sorry to hear about you experiences with this scam.
When reading of your experiences, with the Bank, I noticed that you make no mention of taking up this scam with Amazon.
For the bank to make a payment to Amazon, I'd have thought that there must have been an invoice from Amazon somewhere, otherwise why would the bank be doing a payment? If not an invoice, what triggered the payment?
My banks sends me a note almost every time I spend anything!
These on line traders, like eBay and Amazon, will be well versed in scams like this.
A few years ago, I noticed some invoices in my eBay account, for a number of small stationery purchases, which were to be delivered to a Russian address.
Luckily, I noticed it early and eBay did me proud by sorting it all out very quickly.
In the event, my eBay address had been changed to a Russian address, so anything I bought would have gone there (I laugh now!), without me knowing much about it.
That led on to my using the "haveibeenbeenpawned" web site and finding that my email Address had be given, or sold on, by some site from years before.
Worth a look there:-

If you come up as having had your email &/or password compromised you might want to get a new password, pronto!
