3. The scammers provided a fake email and fake phone number and were impersonating FedEx in order to get you to call about the unexpected package. Of course, the first thing you would need to do is prove it was really you on the phone by giving them some personal information.....
Do you know that the iPhone actually existed and the credit card was actually created?
I don't know how many times I have received an email from Amazon, UPS, FedEx, or USPS telling me a packages (that I was not expecting) could not be delivered unless I called and provided more information. I ignore these.
I don't know how many times I've received emails confirming purchases I have made (usually iPhones, iPads, McAfee products, or Geek Squad services) and noting how much my PayPal account will be debited and giving a number to call if I don't recognize the purchase. These get ignored as well.
I have received several notices from banks (that I don't have accounts at) warning me that my account was about to be closed if I don't click this link and login now. More messages to ignore.
In all these cases there really was no package, no purchase, and no account, only the hope that I would give them information.

Yes, there was a credit card created.
Yes, we were home all day, people working from home
They used an email bomb to disguise the purchase using CoachK's email
Fedex person when we called FED on the phone said that the package was out for delivery, and and converted the order to return to shipper.
Months later, the package tracking number still said out to be delivered.
Got the credit card taken down for fraud.
Got the physical credit card in the mail several days later.
Verizon had an internet special phone deal
However, Verizon still activated the phone and charged us for a month's usage, because Verizons internal systems SUCK worse than Vanguards.
And I am personally witness to Verizons corporate network billing inconsistencies, as well as knowing someone in Verizon who had to stand up a fraud department because people figured out that Verizon was so bad, that vendors started overbilling, etc.
Satisfied Mr Bill?
