Strange Amazon Scam? What's happening?

702 21 October 28, 2023 at 08:17 PM in Chat
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?

Ok, I received a $5 Amazon gift card the other day, supposedly from Slickdelas. The card came with a message: "Dear procope, Thank you for your participation, we appreciate you! Slickdeals"

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?
it's legit. there were contests running for a few weeks in may/june, that didn't require much effort (and that most regulars could qualify for with just their regular activity) and you were one of the first winners of the voting one linly. when live they were posted as global stickies in hot deals (those occasional red announcements you see above everything else) and i also mentioned them here in the lounge: https://slickdeals.net/f/977265-deal-thread-for-loungers-who-never-leave-the-lounge?v=1&p=171050919#post171050919

Ah, thank you! that's what I thought. I actually asked Autumn, since she runs most of these contests, sent her a PM, but she hadn't responded yet. Perhaps, she went on vacation. So I'll go ahead and redeem the card.
Woo-hoo! At this rate, I'll soon go ahead of LC2 quickly... Tongue
