"I then set up a load of fake accounts, and I find random names and addresses either from publicly available information or from a leaked database that's doing the rounds from a previous data breach. I order Kleinman Candles from my fake accounts"
Do all these accounts have the same credit card number? I'd think Amazon checks card numbers, so lots of accounts can't use the same card. Or does brushing need getting lots of different card numbers too? I wouldn't think they are so easy to come by in bulk.

- tw04 6y agoThe card number problem should be somewhat easy I would think. You either use gift cards or one of the cards out there that lets you create virtual card numbers for online purchases. I would think at some point if you were spinning up hundreds of virtual cards you'd get flagged, but gift cards should be awfully easy other than the time/effort to actually acquire them.

And somebody bigger will probably employ a service of some rogue bank to issue tons of cards for fake users. I was surprised that Amazon still allows virtual cards. Alibaba had them blacklisted pretty much from day one.
