Everything was reported and changed, fairly quickly to our luck. Another charge was denied the next day.

    I believe sometimes bad actors will purchase goods from themselves using illegally obtained payment information and then actually send the goods to the victim to try to argue against the chargeback and/or make the victim think “hmm maybe I did order this…”. Or they could be trying to make their devices less likely to trip fraud detection systems for a larger haul. Not sure how well this all works though. With more expensive things (phones, TVs, etc.) I’d think they’re planning on swiping the package before you get it, but with coffee I’d be shocked if that was the plan.

      To my knowledge its not, it was an apple card too which would be a mountain size leak for a large group. Im thinking it was most likely an online vendor for the moment.
