New online shopping scam: This is how fraudsters on Amazon and Ebay operate. Fraudsters use customer data to order products.

Users only have limited options for action. They either pay for the goods again or send the product back, whereby they are dependent on the goodwill of the retailers. Such fraud could also increase the real price of products, as retailers often calculate their losses due to fraud. Users can protect themselves from new scams by taking a look at user reviews before buying online.
