    Default Weird Walmart scam...pls explain

    I have a question for you:
    Somebody used my walmart.com account to order some Lego toys, $24 worth of item.
    So far nothing unusual.
    Funny thing is that not only he added his shipping address to my account, but also a Mastercard in HIS name, which he used to pay
    So he used my account to order something and paid for it with his own money...
    I cancelled the order, deleted his shipping address and his CC from my account and closed the account for good measure, but what could his endgame possibly be?
    What kind of scam is this if he paid for the purchase with his own money???

    They were both showing on my account detail, one as an alternate shipping address and the other as an alternate method of payment, Mastercard, last 4 digits etc...
    We thought maybe his CC would be declined and my CC would end up being used as a backup payment but I was on Chat with Walmart CS this morning and apparentlty his CC charges went trough just fine.

    That's a good test.
    Your leaked account credentials tested and working [check]
    Small amount (>$50) tested on leaked card [check]
    Next test is bigger...

    Speaking of wired. Someone created a Sony Play Station account on my gmail. And then managed to change the email on that account prior to verifying it. No one logged onto my gmail account and we don?t have a PS.

    Done already.
    Closed account
    So the CC that was used probably belonged to a3rd party?
