I'd call the CC company RIGHT NOW and ask for a new card. Make sure you specifically say that you have not charged anything and that all charges should be declined (say you lost it if that helps).

How am I in the wrong when all I did was add an item to my cart, and checkout? I didn't "knoqingly defraud" them, I saw that they were sorry, and I accepted their appology.

One thing to think about in all of this. I learned this at a previous job, from what I heard and saw (and no I did not have this happen to me):
There are some things that you just take to the grave with you, no matter what what it is, no matter how much you want to mention it or how dire it may be, you just keep it to yourself.
Just my 2 "fully copper" pennies.

Hey xNightfallx, I am shocked that you found a sale at Amazon that no one else on Talk was able to find. How many days was this sale going on, because I check Amazon everyday for boxset sales and I never saw it.

Well, with the new BOGO sale that Amazon now has, I can see it now....
as the spider said to the fly -- come into my web......
Now that you got a deal, we're going to get our money back from the last time, bawhahahahahahh... that's a good credit card you have there.... and you thought you were going to get the same deal -- WRONG!

Well, my credits were finally issued. Now, I guess I just wait for Amazon to try and re-charge that card or one of the others I had on file and start it all over again.

My sister received this from email from Amazon

Has anyone else had their account placed on hold because of this fiasco? She tried to sign in at Amazon & couldn't so when she clicked on forget password & entered her email she got this message- Important Message
We're sorry, we don't seem to have an account associated with "her email"

No hold or emails or anything for me. I can still sign into the site with no problem. They've left me alone since I disputed and got my money back.
I've also stuck to my word so far. I've not done any business with them at all. In fact, just now was the first time I've even signed into the account since all this happened.

Ironically, I asked Amazon to close my account before I even did the chargeback, and they never did it. After getting the runaround from their inept customer service department, they finally just stopped responding to my e-mails. My account is still active and they keep sending me promotional e-mails. Hopefully now that my chargebacks are complete they'll actually close my account like i originally asked!

Like Jah-Wren, I haven't bought anything since this started either. I just logged in now with no problems however. Has you sister tried to create a new account Cookie?

My charges were reversed a couple of months ago, after a successful dispute. Received a message on my machine yesterday from the dispute department of my credit card company. Lady left a message asking me to call her back regarding a dispute with Amazon.com.
Dare I say, "Here we go again..."

Funny, each time I see an update to this thread, I'm waiting for xNightfallx to report that he's being shipped to Guantanamo Bay or something like that due to his haul from this fiasco...

Once she understood the situation, and saw the supporting invoices and shipper I had faxed into them, she said, "OK, I'll keep fighting this for you."

Although I haven't seen them chime in here lately, this is the part of amazon's 'strategy' that should bother even the most ardent "you're-a-jerk-for-taking-advantage-of-a-mistake" crusader. Now that scamazon has realized they cannot use the original inovices to get the money they want, they're CREATING invoices 3 months afterwards and submitting them as though they're separate purchases.
