Assignment#13- Online Scams and Schemes

A few years back, my grandma was scammed on Amazon. back then, she was addicted to online selling sites such as ebay, and amazon. She seemed to get what she wanted with some great deals.Until one time, she was buy something for my little cousin. She was asked for her credit card infomation, and had a few extra, small little questions you think that would have no effect on getting scammed. So she thought ntohing of it and kept filling out all of the infomation. The cost came out to a total of around $70. It said she would recieve her package in one to two weeks. Those weeks went by and nothing came in the mail. she tried contacting the person that "sold the ideam to her but she got nothing out of that. Then a few days after that, she got a call in the mail saying she owes a lot of money to the bank for all of the things she bought on her credit card. she explained what happened and started a case. a few weeks later after shutting her credit card off, they found who the person was. My grandma was not the only one who this happend to. After that, my grandma ended up getting all of her money back as well as the other victum.
