I ordered something from Amazon with a fake address (digital credit for my PS4) → Indian account. (Yes I know, stupid, it's a different topic, I regret it very much)
But since I paid with a German credit card, Amazon checked it and frozen my account. Now they want a credit card confirmation that I'm the owner. But then they will notice that the Indian address is different.
My order has been frozen and any insight into it has been withdrawn from me. The money has already been debited and I'm now there. It wasn't Amazon credit. I paid directly with a credit card.
How do I get my money back? I ordered from a third party manufacturer.
As long as you don't identify yourself correctly - not at all… 🤷
"Your money back"?
This will be your smallest problem when this is reported
Why should I be reported?
See it as an apprenticeship and it's best to delete the account. If you are lucky, nothing more will happen to you than that because what you did was a crime and Amazon could theoretically report you.
I assume you are still a child so underage. I can only advise you not to do that in the future. Even if you are still a minor, you or your parents can still get into a lot of trouble. The Internet is not a legal vacuum, Brudi.
Scam?
Why fraud? Didn't I pay normally?
What kind of crime? No, I'm not a minor.
Underage rather not if it was his credit card?
Fraud, forgery, etc? If you are of legal age it is even worse and sadder…
Forgery of documents due to a generated address that was never delivered to?
"… Are fake profiles also a criminal offense?
It may be that the terms of use prohibit the use of fake profiles. However, the use of such a profile is not per se punishable. As so often, however, it depends on the individual case.
For example, if you are only active on Facebook and use a pure fantasy name there, you usually have nothing to fear. It becomes far more complicated if you order something under a fake name or profile or even go looking for a job.
Anyone who pretends to be someone he is not really is almost always a criminal offense. Fraud or forgery of documents would be conceivable here… "
Forgery of documents due to a generated address that was never delivered to?
Correct!
What if I don't do anything now, my account is blocked, then the frozen order is canceled. Will I get the money back on my Amazon credit card?
I don't know, I've never tried cheating before
Typically German community, you are treated like a criminal if you screw up. You don't have that on platforms like Reddit and other language platforms.
My concern is more what happens after that.
You HAVE acted criminally and you are free to use other platforms
Do what they want to keep it going. No matter in which direction.
Everything is currently in the balance between being executed (if everything is correct) and canceled (if it is not correct).
Next time describe your problem correctly.
I don't understand this post, what are you telling me exactly?
Oh my God.
Yes. And if someone already lives there, identity theft can also occur
No, it was generated. As I said, I had no intention of doing anything illegal.
You are treated like a criminal
Sure, criminals are treated like criminals.
I'm not a criminal and at most I broke Amazon's terms and conditions.
I'm not a criminal
Attempted fraud, identity theft (if someone really lives there). You call that "not criminal"?!
Where did I try to cheat? I paid normally. And the identity doesn't exist because it was generated with random data. The chances that at the place who lives with the name is equal to 0.
Well then send them what they want if you've done everything so legally you don't have to worry
Nevertheless it can exist… And I also believe you that you don't want anything bad.
No? Where do I want to create a financial advantage for myself or who am I harming? I set up an Indian account to buy Indian prepaid codes with my own credit card. I would never have done that if there had been one in the German Amazon Shop. Since these are digital codes, the address was irrelevant anyway.
The financial advantage is that you now have an Indian game. You do damage to Sony, who could have asked for a higher price if they were ported to the German shop due to the exchange rate and the different purchasing power.
Eg… You would have been "delivered", you would have claimed you weren't, card hacked or something… Who wants to prove that now - when Amazon uncovered the fraud in the past?
But just write THAT exactly to Amazon…
I don't have anything because I didn't get anything. That's the problem. And the financial advantage has nothing to do with Amazon and my Indian account. That's a different matter. I can also hang the codes on my wall.
It's okay if you discover that it's a fake address, I'll probably have to admit it. But does that give them the right to withhold my money? It was NOT Amazon credit, so not their possession.
That's why it's just attempted fraud.
And it's still my money.
Two days ago you asked where you can safely get Indian PSN Codes and I showed you a safe site.
And then you decide to pull off such nonsense with fake data?
Well. Basically you haven't done anything illegal. You can have foreign Amazon accounts and pay with credit card. Amazon just wants to be sure that you are the person who ordered, that's their right, you agree to this by registering and accepting the terms and conditions.
As long as you don't do what you can't because of the fake data, your account will remain blocked.
You can get back unauthorized credit card payments, your provider will help you with that. But I doubt whether this works here.
In the end, you only have to go to the lawyer to sue for your money. You have to know for yourself whether it's worth it.
Your answer came after that. I know I regretted it and screwed up.
Can I write to you via PM? You seem to me the only factual and neutral here of all. Do you have 10 minutes?
Because at first they can't even know that it's YOUR money!
It doesn't match "your" data
If someone had really hacked your card and thought up a fantasy address, you would be GLAD if your money was still on Amazon!
Yes, but the Amazon address is fake, and the credit card address. I can easily prove that the card is mine.
Then do that instead of discussing how legal your action was…
How do I get my money back?
→ Do what they want to keep it going.
Now they want a credit card confirmation that I'm the owner. But then they will notice that the Indian address is different.
Yes, exactly that. Do what you want.
With "frozen" nothing happens. They don't even know that you're a fake. What should happen if you don't do anything? Nothing. And you still want what happens.
I have now sent my information to them so that it can continue. Learned from my mistake and will have to put up with whatever happens. Of course, I still hope that I will at least get my money back. I think an advertisement is unlikely, my behavior was too insignificant for that, because Amazon would have a lot to do.
I will keep you up to date. I should know more tomorrow.
Account will probably be blocked and the purchase canceled. If the Vk has not yet delivered. Nothing more happens there.
So do you think the money will be returned to me?
Money or goods.
You, I sent them my credit card confirmation, and they sent me the same email again, "We couldn't find your identity, please send us your information". So automated message. So I'm not getting anywhere with my proof of credit. What should I do now? Just wait until my account is finally blocked and the money is transferred back to me?
Write to support, in English.
And what should I tell them? Can they deny me my money if I admit my "deed"?
Got my money back.
Well, I got my money back!
Got my money back. Everything alright.
