  • Up to £9k on the stolen card now : ) there were pending payments which only went through today. 2 separate orders of £1k at TM Lewin. You'd have thought HSBC might have flagged it on the call the other day.

    I don't really understand how this type of fraud works. Surely online purchases have to be delivered somewhere. Presumably, it's too common/just too much work for retailers / police to actually go to the addresses and get the people ordering it?

  • I assume you get it delivered to a MITM who can plausibly deny all connection to the thing

  • Most likely a random address and someone will be waiting to intercept the delivery.

    Usually with cloned credit cards and purchases for phones.
