During the X-mas season Amazon asked me to buy a gift card 3 times. For 3 times I turned me down. Then they sent me an email saying they were sending me my$100 gift card. I said I did not want it! A few days later I checked my social security bank account [by the US gov] and found out Amazon charged me$100. I did not get a gift card from Amazon! I called the bank to contest the charge. The bank said it would take 2 to 4 weeks to check out. They sent me a letter saying they would not do anything? I asked for their paperwork to be sent to me. Amazon said my claim needed to be put in a month’s time!? [Yes - this was past a month.] Also they said my computer had been hacked. I own several computers, I do not use public wifi, I take computer classes, and so on. I had my computers checked - they were clean. Yes - my Gmail had been hacked - but none of my bank accounts or other secure accounts had been hacked.
I change passwords every few days to 1 to 2 weeks, and they are 2 to 3 stage sign in with a cell phone call to me to put in a password. The Amazon site had been hacked or the Amazon salesman wanted to make a sale! I made it a point to NOT GIVE ANY SITE a credit card number to remember! Amazon saved my number [I did not authorize Amazon to do this] and then charged me for the card. They sent the card somewhere? But not to me. Or maybe they kept the money!? I dropped Gmail [because it was hacked] and do not use Amazon. I was told to file a police report so Amazon would do something. P.S. I was never directed to a payment site by Amazon.
