What type of scam is this?

Did you maybe log into your account somewhere and forget to log off? Maybe Amazon on your phone or tablet that you left out and someone is just messing with you?

 

filthy thieves!

 

Did you log into your Amazon account directly, or through a link in the email?

If it is a link in the email, I would suspect a phishing attack, and you just gave them your login and password on a site made to look like Amazon's site.

 

thats probably what happened

never login into any of your accounts through email

 

That's a pretty involved phishing scam if they somehow had his address.

 

In any case, you should change your password.

 

With phishing scams and after luring him to log in at a fake site, they can have a bunch more information.

 

The only possible outcome I can see from this situation is death.

 

They did it because they are the seller. You will get the phone but they will get the profit since they sold it to you.

 

review all your accounts carefully and notify your bank of any suspicious transactions and let them know that your identity may have been stolen.. notify one of the credit bureaus and put a fraud alert on your credit report now!!

 

At the very least change all your passwords.

 

You can always log on amazon and check your history. If you don't see it, you clicked on the phishing link.

Bottom line... change all your accounts that share that same password.

 

Maybe someone just really want you to have an Iphone 4s.

Or could it be that you were intoxicated one night and subconsciously bought an I-fen?

 

All your base are belong to us

 

Delete your paying method that's saved into your account?

I had a similar thing happen to a friend of mines. Someone got his Amazon account info and ordered thousands of dollars worth of stuff and had it shipped to some other state.

Ever since, I always made sure my billing info is never saved on any websites.

 

Hey Mr. Brightside,

Sounds like you did not fall for a phishing attack. They are not very impressive from a technical security standpoint, so I'd tend to believe you if you say you didn't fall for one. The information scare you are getting in this thread is inaccurate.

Of course there are very stealthy ways to attack sites (such as reflected XSS), but if Amazon has such a vulnerability, we would all know and you wouldn't be the only one posting this. Besides, even such devious things require you to be logged onto Amazon at the same time you click on a nefarious email or go to an evil site. Plus old browser could have an exploit, too. But none of this makes sense, since they shipped it to your house.

Do a virus sweep of you machine, and update your current browser to latest patches. Again, even if the virus sweep turns up something, an attacker wouldn't ship to your house.

To me, unless you were drunk shopping one night (j/k), or a friend/gf is playing a trick on you by getting on your machine, I would think you could also be a victim to more old school/less technical fraud. I'm thinking a felonious fedex or UPS carrier. I'd report to Amazon, my credit card company and find out who was supposed to deliver that package.

 

If its not your wife, someone cracked your pw

O would at least add a letter or symbol to your password.

Next time,, your email and atty will be changed...
