make sure to change all your passwords, if they have your amazon details they can just grab the new card as soon as you update it

Well funny thing is I’m under my step moms Amazon account, they woudlve needed her password which isn’t saved on my phone. So how did they get access to her account, maybe it’s two seperate incidents and they just happened to try my card once getting access? Or somehow got access to my phone virtually or maybe my email, letting them access her Amazon? Idk I’m the only one at all concerned about it which is frustrating

If someone just had your card, the charge wouldn't be through your amazon account, it would be someone else using your stolen card on THEIR amazon account, yk? So someone has access to that account if the fraudulent purchases are going through that specific account. Do you have an iphone or android?

iPhone. Yeah so the first fraud charge was at a fast food place in Japan using my card, def my issue, then the 2nd one was seen cancelled directly on the Amazon account so they must’ve had access to her specific account. I’m not the default card on the account but they did try to use my new card so now I gotta get another new one. We’ve changed password and all that for the Amazon account which kicks everyone off it, I’m just trying to figure if these are isolated incidents or not

If you have an iphone it's really unlikely they're accessing anything via your phone so you shouldn't worry about that specifically. Good job on changing the Amazon account. you could also look into contacting your bank and making sure you have 2FA set up on all your accounts and have them raise your security level so you need to confirm large or unusual purchases.

I have, confused by the dismissiveness of my parents and them lol. Both times they just asked questions to confirm my identity and then were like alright we’re sending you your new card and haven’t really said anything else

I should def set up factor authentication, thankfully I have a good bank and they already flag large purchases for me, looking at old transactions they’ve never tried small purchases just the two instances of large ones
