Amazon.com and my morning horror

This morning when I woke up and was preparing to go for college, I received an e-mail from Amazon's Payment site (Something like Paypal.com site) that I have sent USD$1k. Wooo interesting... I thought it was a fake e-mail kinda thing. So I check in detail about that Amazon Payment site and yes, the e-mail sent to me was authentic, original... REAL! Gosh...

I didn't know that Amazon has a payment site also to do transactions and I logged in to my account to check out this transaction. Then, I was totally shocked sampai saya tak tahu nak kata apa to see this...

My account has been hacked!

So yeah, my account was hacked and this guy, whoever that hacked into my account was attempting to send a huge amount of money to Amazon's subsidiary company, Alexa Internet (Or somebody else). Thank God the USD4k and USD2k transaction was declined. The only transaction that went through was the USD1k.

I informed my dad about this wonderful horror I had and he called up the bank to inquiry about this transaction. Indeed, the bank said the USD1k transaction has been made to Alexa Internet via Amazon.com, but the payment was still pending on the bank's side. Phew, I'm glad to hear that it was still pending. Even though they said the money will definitely be sent, but I guess we could dispute this false transaction after that since we already informed the bank earlier.

All I have to do now is wait about the update of the transaction. What a morning horror...
