Even stranger, I just happened to check my Amazon account and found a show
stopper. Someone had just used my details to purchase two laptops, with a
total price of £2000. Even stranger was that they were to be delivered to my
address. Fortunately I'd found out before the order was despatched and
managed to cancel it.
Why on earth would anyone do that and how did they get my card details,
password etc, to be able to do it.

Same thing here.
Amazon confirmed the cards had been redeemed and know the account they were
redeemed to – but they can’t tell me who this was. I asked them if they would
provide that information to the police but they seemed totally uninterested.

Happy New Year everyone.
Had a similar scenario recently. The wife's card was refused at the local
garden centre. Paid with mine, but she immediately received a call from the
bank stating unusual use and they'd stopped the card. Had she spent £1055
online at Debenhams? No. OK, we were to let them know when the item appeared
on her account and they would investigate!
We wanted to protect her £1055, but they confirmed this was the usual way.
Once home, I rang Debenhams to check my order, and sure enough it was a sofa,
delivery in 2 weeks!!
I explained the situation, but although they had a delivery address, not
ours, they couldn't provide the information so that I could contact the
police, or Barclays fraud dept. Reason: Data protection.......
I remember a time when we used things and loved people. It all seems
backwards lately.

I should then get an email to approve your request and can set the rest up.
I’ve just finished a battle with Amazon today so I’m definitely in GOM mode.
I ordered two gift vouchers for Christmas presents and when they arrived
someone had scratched the foil off the redeem code. A quick check showed that
the cards had already been redeemed before delivery. Seems a simple matter to
explain to Amazon but it became a headache and, finally, they offered to
refund the amount. They don’t seem at all concerned about tracking the stolen
money even though they know who redeemed the cards. What a daft world!

I saw this msg from Frank some time ago, but have only just remembered I
wanted to do the same. I have a gmail account which is
peterwmdodds@xxxxxxxxx, so Bones - i wonder if you could change my profile to
use that address. It will be slightly more convenient too, as i have that
address on my phone, and we seem to use our phones for everything except
making tea these days!
