New scam for online shopping: This is how fraudsters on Amazon and Ebay operate. New type of cybercrime: 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. Before buying online, always take a look at user reviews. Be careful with particularly cheap offers! If they seem too tempting, they usually are.
