Woke up this morning to 4000 spam emails and that someone had bought and redeemed a £100 amazon gift card on my account.
The annoying part is that I recently had some of my gaming accounts hacked so I’d already changed all of my passwords.
I’ve had 2FA on everything since forever, but apparently it’s all just security theatre 'cause it seems there was no obstacle to them doing this.
Guess I’ll try getting amazon to reimburse it but I have terrible luck
edit: amazon said fuck no lol 
edit 2: I’ve been refunded 
Don’t be afraid to escalate and be angry and shit. Don’t back down when they say no. Other annoying-types (and we know who they are) will try to call you a Karen. I say it’s okay to be karen too much.
I’ve had good results with getting insistent and angry, but I will not be insulting or rude. Get the agent on your side, sometimes people have more power than they let on.
Sometimes you have to be a Karen to get anyone to do anything. It’s annoying but true. Companies and employees for them will take advantage of people’s niceness and desire to avoid confrontation.
