Been trying to get on my Amazon.co.uk account because there's been fraudulent activity on it and more spurious purchases taken by fraudesters using my account (I should eventually get my money back but it is a real battle to do so). Unfortunately I am now locked out of it as the fraudsters have changed the password and other details so been on the phone trying to get through to Amazon customer services and tell them what has happened - it took me nearly 2 hours of frustrating phone calls but they have finally agreed that at least one of the transactions looks 'really suspicious' and have put a temporary stop on it.
No idea what that is. I do know that every time I have used on-line Amazon for shopping in the past 12 months (3 times) within 24 hours my account has been hacked and spurious purchases made by the hackers. it is almost as if they wait for me to make a move, changing the password seems to make no difference.
I am starting to wondre if it is an Amazon problem rathe rthan a 'me' problem
2FA means if someone tries to hijack your account, they must also enter a code either from your phone, or e-mail. So even if they have your password, they cannot use your account...
Ah OK thanks. Yeah that is what I have been trying to set up on both my Amazon and Steam accounts (which have been hacked in the past). Don't know if I have been doing it properly though.
As you know my mobile is a pre-digital burner which can not be hacked or cloned which makes it very useful.
I still don't understand the concept of a "pre-digital" mobile phone. So it has no circuit boards or microchips? How does it work then?
Basically it doesn't have on any of the modern technology used by Androids or I-Phones. So it is virtually impossible to hack or clone.
