I woke up this morning to several emails from eBay and PayPal confirming my purchase of several gift cards, an iPhone X, a PayStation 4, and some miscellaneous odds and ends. eBay and Amazon both refuse to acknowledge the fraudulent nature of the items, however, because they were shipped to my own address, and they claim the IP that purchased these is in my town, so it matches my shopping trends. So I am struggling on how to report what happened, but I am more confused why this would happen. Is there some kind of scam I am not aware of involving ordering things and shipping them to the account holder? The gift cards were sent electronically to a proton mail account, but one was physically shipped. I was able to resend the electronic ones to my own email address to cancel out the original redemption code so they cannot use them. I am just at a loss here. Also, my Amazon and eBay accounts use different email addresses and unique passwords. How would they both get access in the same night? Do I need to be concerned about other sites and apps? Should I cancel my card through my bank even if no one actually had access to the card itself? Since I have no idea how this happened, I have no idea how to respond. I am also struggling to report the activity as fraudulent because it took place from an IP address in my town and some goods were shipped directly to me. Does anyone have any insight? This is close to a thousand dollars. If this post does not belong here, can anyone else suggest where I should turn to?
