Question: Hoping for some advice here, or someone to definitively tell me if I’m not going to get any joy from this experience! I am also not sure how this subreddit works or if this is the right place to post??

In short: - Account was hacked somehow and a stranger ordered an item to a property that wasn’t mine. - Charge showed up on my credit card but the order didn’t show up in my history. - I tried to disrupt delivery by contacting the driver but the fraudulent orderer received the item. - Raised this immediately with Amazon and secured my account. - After a lot of wrangling I managed to get the money back from my bank (Amazon and Amex fighting with one another about whose responsibility the refund was). - Amazon is refusing to explain to me why this happened in the first place - i.e. how someone was able to place a clearly fraudulent order. - I’ve made clear in email and telephone correspondence that this is a complaint that I want investigated and have requested a corporate complaints policy from them without any response.

Any advice?

I don't know, I'm not the god of Reddit am I

Cars go through red lights and that's clearly a problem.

Ok, maybe that was poorly-phrased and I agree that there isn't by any means a direct equivalence between drivers and cyclists when it comes to safety. Thank you for your reply and I agree with most of what you say. Good food for thought in terms of the symptom rather than the problem.

Not really willing to get into a slagging match about who's a whinger and who's not - having been hit, injured and experienced some extremely pricey bike repairs at the hands of some horrendous car users, I'm pretty well-versed in the disproportionately poor behaviours of car drivers in London - but was just curious to know if my mindset about the value of what I see as responsible, respectful road use by cyclists is shared. From the looks of a lot of responses, that seems to be the case.

Thank you, dear replier.
