Reply to comment by Suspicious-Relief-31 in LPT: Phishing activity increases next week by sloppyredditor

Depends on what they’re asking for. I’d expect the link to take you to a site asking for your name, real address, and a card number (with CVV) to confirm the order.

Assuming that’s the scam: They’d then make some fraudulent charges on the card either using an identical card they printed, or online with shipment to an unused house they’re squatting.

Edit: Another commenter had a fair point. If this happens, go back through your purchase history and look for the lesser known companies. Amazon & others like them have protections that other sellers probably do not have. Then never buy from them again.
