So my husbands bank card was used to make $1200 worth of purchases we knew nothing about. It happened on a Friday and first we knew was Monday when a flip phone showed up on our door from a company in California we had never heard of, it has been followed by a few other things.
I called the bank when this was discovered and reported the fraud, they have returned the money, issued a new card etc.
I tried looking this scam up, the only thing that I can find involves high end electronics, not flip phones and very nice bar stools.
Can someone tell me why this was done, what else should I keep an eye on. What is the point of using someones card info to send them stuff, what is in it for the scammers?
