>EDIT: Amazon confirmed my card was never used to purchase Prime for me or anybody else. The scammers were just charging my card $17, and hiding the charge under the name 'Prime Subscription'. They were probably just trying to confirm the card is active. Stuff like gas stations and vending machines can set off alerts since they're common vectors. (Ex: my issuer called me immediately after I first got a card and bought gas for it, because someone who previously didn't buy gas doing so in an area far from home was a common fraud pattern) If the small charge works they can try bigger items.
