Some cashier or someone else who saw/had access to your credit card info within the last few days.

Something similar happened to my wife. The culprit/s turned out to be an East Indian and her cohorts at a supermarket where my wife had made a purchase a few days before the bogus charges.

They were caught and prosecuted.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it was local.

The bank’s fraud unit has been alerted. The vendor (FWIW) will investigate as well.

All it takes is a few seconds.

I rarely make card purchases any more. It’s not 100% solution since someone or some system can be compromised.

My credit union blocks a lot of things by default and sets limits. I have to call to change or request something out of the ordinary. I like it.

Meaning slap on the wrist, fine and probation. These people should start having to do some real time. Identity fraud is costing billions.

I got a laptop I didn’t order once. I was expecting blankets from Bed, Bath and Beyond via Amazon. I contact Amazon, and they said to keep it. They said that according to Federal law, if you get something you didn’t order, you get to keep it. They said it would be covered, on their side, by insurance.

It was a very nice laptop. It lasted years. :)

This guy/group/whatever is a couple of states away.

I took a closer look at the FedEx label picture and on it in the corner describes the contents. Why not tip off everybody to what’s in the box?

If someone is caught, I’d like to FedEx go after them too since they’ve caused several dead end pickups wasting driver time, fuel, and mileage.

I’m half expecting another dead end FedEx pickup tomorrow. Another picture, more evidence. I guess trying some kind pressure technique.
