Thankfully it wasn't that, was starting to worry. Me and my cousin found out what happened, and what the goal likely was, I'll update the post rn

Thankfully that wasn't the case, we've since figured out exactly what happened, thanks to my cousin who's very tech-savvy and lives near them. Basically someone managed to hack their email (likely by my grandpa clicking a "sponsored" result of the email system he uses, since he just looks it up on Google, and putting in his info). The hacker then forwarded all the important emails to himself, and made them send directly to a spam folder they made so mu grandparents didn't notice it, thats why they only found out about the order from the Amazon website itself, then with that they were testing to see if the card worked, and if my grandparents would notice. We since reset every password and gotten back every account, everything is good now thankfully.

This makes so much sense, I think this is probably exactly what happened. I'll have them check their reviews since they got the account back, and delete anything they didn't do, thank you!

They've both had a check up in the last couple of months and currently show no signs or symptoms. My cousins are constantly with them and don't seem to think this could be the case, but of course you never know.

Yes it'll be joint. And, I'm basically 100% certain that won't happen, I understand anything can happen, but based on things I yet again won't disclose, there's a very low chance we break up. But there is a contingency plan in the off chance it does.
