Off-topic acai berry detox scam

So my gf's credit card gets canceled she calls and they say that there was fradulent activity, for some detox crap. Then my credit card gets canceled for fradulent activity today and a box arrives for my gf with these acai berry detox pills. I assume I will get some soon as well.

She has never signed up for anything, put her credit info out and rarely uses her card. I never would of signed up for this crap and it just shows up at my place. Anyone have this happen to them?

It's because those wholesalers pay over $100 per person you get to sign up for that ****. It's because the first month is low cost / reduced cost, and then they rebill every month unless you opt out.

So, the scammers use compromised credit card numbers to place orders using their affiliate links.

Sounds like some place that you both shop was compromised.

This is what I thought and the gas station on the corner is run by some folks who know nothing about technology and probably have a compromised connection. I figured these berry companies were a pyramid scam and some dude is just signing randoms up and collecting.
