Has anyone else noticed Amazon shipping them more of items than they ordered? I've recently had this happen in two separate orders, including receiving 3 SSDs when I'd just ordered 1, for a free $300 of SSD.
You also have to take into account honest people which would try to notify the fraudulent seller or possibly the platform through which the item was bought, which is another unnecessary risk for a fraudster.
It’s possible that the credit card wasn’t stolen but was opened using a stolen identity, so any alerts could go straight to the fraudster.
The other problem is that there are not many incentives for the platform to do anything about this, proving fraud is hard because this thing can happen through legitimate mistakes. Both the vendor and platform got paid, and the buyer got what they paid for plus some. In the case above the fraud was reported but no one did anything.
The advantage for the fraudster would be hopefully repeat business / positive reviews that generate more business. Admittedly this makes less sense for SSDs compared to coffee.
It wasn't anything expensive, but it looked like it didn't get split out of the bulk packaging it was likely received in (barcode for single item was applied to bundle of 5).
