Does anyone know what's happening with my Amazon account..
the other day, someone ordered 3 things via my account to my house. It was sent under my name to my address. They then immediately archived the order, so I couldn't see it. They added 4 debit cards to my payment wallets. I called the debit card companies, and they said I don't have any accounts open with them under my ss#. Debit card companies were Navy credit union and Truist. My credit report doesn't reflect any new accounts opened.
Then I called Amazon to see what was going on, and they said that the debit carr they used has a lot of order transactions and they're under different Amazon accounts but same debit with my billing address on it.
Anyone know what's going on?

This is called a Brushing Scam. The Amazon seller sends an unsolicited package to your home then gets better placement during searches based on phoney sales. Something like that. They also create accounts to make fake reviews based on the shipment so that it shows as a verified purchase. Something like that. You should report unsolicited packages (that you didn't order and that you're sure aren't gifts from friends and family) to Amazon:

I guess it is some sort of a scam. I did not participate in any ruffles, quizzes, or other winning contests on SD recently. Though, the card seems to be legit, really came from Amazon, and has Amazon's order # attached to it.
Has anyone here received a $5 card from SD recently? Is it really that SD appreciates its members to the point of randomly sending gift cards? huh?
