Re: [Credit Card Fraud] AMZ*SUPERSTORE

i wonder if amazon accounts are being hacked, they find some stored cc numbers, then use them under the spoofed name. being a person stores the cc number on their amazon account, they wouldnt immediately question it, i dunno.

I *do* know it has just raised a new question almost two years later. someone actually lifted my mother's cc number from somewhere, made their own card, and tried to hit it in Belize (actually had the card present, when my mom's card was in her wallet). Now that I think back, her number was stored on amazon.com (and to my dismay, the password to her account wasnt all that difficult to figure out)
I don't think amazon gives you the full card number though. So the thief would only be able to rack up bills using your amazon account. Unless of course you are talking about this thief compromising amazons security. IF that's the case I hope it doesn't happen that often...
well it's not like a hacker would be given anything. they'd sneak in however they get in and see all the info in plain text, or if they hacked an account, if i remember correctly it showed me the whole number, with expiration dates and the name as it appears on the card. I've long ago deleted all cc numbers from there, but will actually check agian right now...
