Credit card thieves want you to help them

If you woke up one morning and found yourself with an Xbox on your doorstep and a request to send it to Africa, what would you do?

Call it a two-part scam, or a tale of both good and evil. Tech Diversions was recently the recipient of credit card scammers, but they managed to get some good karma their way. More importantly, it was from someone the scammers were trying to get to work for them.

Here’s the set-up: an unnamed woman woke up one morning and found herself one Xbox 360 richer. It was on her doorstep, with a message asking that you use the stamps attached to the package to help send the Xbox 360 to Africa.

Now you could try keeping it, or you could send it to Africa, but this lady did something very classy: she called up the website and returned the item to them.

This women called us and told us her story, how she was told to ship an Xbox 360 she didn’t pay for to Africa. This good person let us know it sounded sketchy and is returning the product to TechDiversions utilizing all the stamps she received for free.

Better still, Tech Diversions has also stopped the bogus orders, putting an end to what may have become a costly problem.
