My amazon account was hacked but amazon caught it before shipping to an address in New Jersey. I wasn't on top of signing out and left my credit card on file with Amazon. I got a new password and took my credit card off my amazon account. I am not leaving my credit card on any sites any more.

Thank you ladies for the heads up. I just went into my Amazon account & deleted my payment method.

Good idea about deleting payment methods. I will do the same on Amazon.

Removing my credit card is not an option for me. I order too frequently from Amazon to go down that route. Are there any additional steps that can be taken to be safe?

Thanks-

I stop ordering from Amazon because after I would order things. I would get all kinds of Porn and scam emails that I had never gotten before. I did call Amazon to report what was happening after I had ordered with them. They said that they would look into it. At first I thought it was from an online order I made with Kohl's. So I ordered again from Amazon 2 weeks later and sure enough they started up again. So I just deleted and changed all my info plus I always remove my payment method.

I receive an email alert anytime I use my CC, and do not scan it.

You should be able to setup alerts with your company.

If your account was hacked, wound't the hacker have sent the package to some other address? What would be the point of charging an item to your account and then sending that item....to your house?

Oh, so it was Amazon?! Same thing happened to me with the porn sites and scam emails. Thanks a lot Amazon. I order most of my stuff from them, too.

Yes, we could not figure what the purpose was, so the post master felt it best to refuse package, she had her account hacked before on amazon,just playing it safe.

My credit card was hacked on Amazon....the only purchase made with that card...... This is ONE of the reasons I dont shop there.... Please dont save your credit card info....one tech guy said there's a security breach that fraudsters use by going through the Amazon UK sign in page and then hooking up to the U.S. page....
