ship it to my sister's house that I previously lived. The packages had my name on them and were all from Amazon but yet weren't ordered from my account.

Any y'all boys ever heard of a scam like this?

Also the last thing they ordered was a very expensive sex toy shaped like a power drill which is how I caught it

Might just be they forgot to change the address. I've read stories of really dumb scammers buying things and sending it to the house of the person they stole from, who obviously cancel the card and return the items for a full refund.

Oh, the edit proves that this dude sent his sister a "sex drill" and pretended to get his card "hacked".

You're a sick, weird man, glitteringfairy.

It could be a brushing scam where they use the tracking information to "verify" shipments of other items. It's similar to what they suspected the seed packets being sent earlier this year were for.

This person wasn't playing around. They definitely had some big plans.

Scammers will set up a storefront on eBay or another site that requires shipping verification to authenticate reviews. They'll ship items unsolicited from Amazon and subsequently place fake orders on their own site using the tracking data from Amazon to validate the shipping. They can then write fake reviews for their storefront using the verified tracking information.

A buddy of mine told me the exact same thing happened to him (minus the sex toy part). His credit card info was stolen and someone created a new Amazon account, started buying things... but had them shipped to my friends house.

He called Amazon and they were able to verify that someone recently opened a new account to set this all up. He had the credit card cancelled and replace obviously, but yeah, mostly the same situation.

So, did your sister steal the card, or were you trying to send your sister some hints?

If it's the former, she DID open your mail, which is a federal offence, just sayin'.

One dude in St. Petersburg, Russia hijacked my steam account. Changed the email, password, everything and all he did was download and play Counter Strike. Don't keep my card info on there so they didnt get shit. But it's just weird they attempted to keep the account.

Except you should. Credit cards are much better at handling fraud protection. If your debit card is compromised, the bank freezes your whole account and you don't have any money.

Had something like this happen recently. Card info got stolen and the guy ordered some games off Amazon. I cancelled his orders and the card, but he had gotten into the account and placed more orders right after I cancelled them. Removed all info from the site, cancelled more cards and orders. Then a 2500 MacBook showed up at my house. Checked one last card and cancelled it, got my money back, and still got the keep the MacBook. Fucking dumbass probably forgot to change the address in his haste.
