Yes. Just a couple hours before I too noticed some unusual activity in my account. Specifically, the view history in my Amazon account is showing a he’ll lot of products which I have never searched in my life in any site. As a precaution I changed my password as my Apay balance was intact.

I’m still facing this issue of unrelated view history no matter how many times I change my password. Raised concern with amazon, they are also clueless

Have a strong feeling that someone from amazon is doing this.. I haven’t used my account for 8 months and had some balance lying there and as going to expire in August so I thought of using it but when I logged in it was used up by someone just 10 days back .. and. Nothing else changed

Last week faced the same problem, report the same immediately along with an email, they will cancel the croma order and you will be asked to change the password and you will get back 105% of the amount that got deducted within 4-7 days..

I also faced similar issue. My account was hacked recently but fortunately there was no pay balance in it and hacker changed the primary email id if Amazon account. Raised issue with Amazon and they did everything to get my account back to normal.

There are lot of phishing sites  looks like Amazon , those are sharing on WhatsApp . Some users can’t identify it’s original or not. They’ll submit their login details there.https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/574944/original/Screenshot_20190713-081828.png?1562986582https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/574945/original/Screenshot_20190713-082516_2.png?1562986602

Same has happened with me earlier this year.
And I went to depth of this issue.
It all started with data breach of ixigo.com
Millions of users ixigo email password got hacked.
And then hackers sell the credentailas at variois placrs in parts.
Now, there is no benefit from ixigo, bt ppl are having same email passwrd at diffrnt platforms like amazon, flipkart..
So, who buys these information use at other platforms.
So, firstly my mobikwik was used of amount Rs. 114 on clubfactory, then they tried accesing my zingoy nd cashkaro, but they coudnt, as these sites blocked them, nd informd me to change password.
Then my amazon account was used for Rs. 300 on bewakoof.com.
But the good thing is amazon quickly responded,
nd took care of issue, and issued refund and also told me they’r getting many similar complaints.
But, this mobiwik or mobidick, they just disabled my account.. nd aftr complaining regularly, aftr 3-4 months, they enabld my account nd on talk with cc, they clearly said we do this only, disable account forever of such users. But they saw my long histry of usage, they enabld, I askd about refund, they said aftr they enable account case is closed, i will not get refund. I argued, thry said they’ll open case again and they disabld my account again, aftr that no reply. I havnt seen such pathetic service ever. F**ck u mobikwick.

Moreover, I would like to add, I got hold of they guy u used my amazon account, and the guy who sold my account to him on telegram.
But thing, is nothing can be done. Cyber security is a myth in India.

If any1 having knowledge about where I can complaint, plz inform me..
Firstly, I really want to sue mobidick for this behaviour with customer and also that person who sold my account, he’s also having lakhs of users amazon credentials.
