Unrecognised credit card charge - card is not lost.

[413x]

So one of my CCs has 2 pending charges for amazon.co.uk
One on Monday, one on Friday.

This is a tad concerning as:

-When I buy from amazon it doesn't say "amazon.co.uk" but has a random string of characters
-Nothing on my amazon account.
-I haven't used my card in a month. And it hasn't left the house.


Has my card been cloned somehow?
Obviously I've frozen the card immediately and in a queue to talk to fraud at the bank.


They are both for 5.99.

Yep, sounds like Prime Video 'rentals' or purchase of movies/tv-series..

Would these show up in my amazon account in the normal place if they were attached to my account?


I don't have prime or amazon video.

I don't think so, I've only got 2, the only place I can see them is Prime Video -> My Stuff -> Purchases and rentals

I will check. Thanks.

Yeah no orders in there.

Did you tell any of your OnlyFans girls they could get themselves something nice for the weekend?

If 5.99 covers it, they can come stay with me permanently!

Amazon checkout on another merchant?

No, this card has been in my draw for a good couple of weeks. And I haven't had any emails etc in last week for purchases.

Update. Fraud team said there was a purchase attempt at onbuy a couple of weeks ago that was just blocked. I didn't even get a notification to approve it.

I get the amazon.co.uk rather than amazon * random when using their spread paments over x number of months. Did you do one of those in a previous month? https://www.amazon.co.uk/manage-monthly-payments

You can archive orders so they aren't in your orders list anymore. Have you checked your archived orders in case someone with access to your account has hidden them?

How to archive Amazon orders and view or hide archived orders

You can archive Amazon orders to keep your purchases private if you share an account. Here's how to hide orders and view your archive history.

Doesn't look like anything like this. Also I've only made 1 order since March.

Recurring payment?

Could also be audible?

Certainly not that I'm aware of.

Especially as there were 2 transactions in 3 days

Send me your long number, CVV and expiry and I'll take a look whilst I am at work/my desk

Alas. It is blocked now!

Any subscribe and save things you've forgotten about

Checked all that. Nothing.

I very rarely use amazon so I was fairly sure it's not something I'd forgotten.

Bank says they've frozen everything. Including things that carry on with a new card. And they'll hopefully find out what it is. Ie who's account etc

You maybe in luck as Annie Knight may take you up on that offer

As she needs somewhere to sleep with 600 men

Ewww! I thought was 600.. Ever. And that was bad enough.

600 in a year?
Jesus!

Lyca mobile customer by any chance?

You sure your amazon account hasn't been compromised or someone else is using it? Had something similar turns out I'd logged into Prime on someone's TV while visiting and forgot to log out and they'd watched a film later using the service and I got the bill £5.99 seems a very low amount for a scam your scammer is seriously lacking ambition. At the very least I'd be changing my wifi password


What is it about ToysRUs? I had exactly the same thing for a cloned card but for somewhere in Thailand (the card not me)

I don't have prime though. And barely use amazon.
Certainly not used my card on anyone elses account.
