Emily Morris had close to £600 stolen from her by fraudsters, only for the hearltess scammers to send her an apology card after.

The 22-year-old from Rhostyllen, Wrexham, had her Amazon account hacked by criminals, who then went on a three-day spending spree with her money.

But she only realised days later, as she'd been away from the country on holiday, North Wales Live reports.

That's when Emily saw four transactions worth a total of £575.22 had been made while she was on holiday, and that the fraudster had also changed her account details too – stopping her from blocking future purchases.

As she arrived home from the airport, she was met with a parcel on the doorstep from Amazon.

Speaking to North Wales Live , she, said: "It was really creepy, my first thought was, 'oh god, what have they sent me?'. I felt as though someone was watching me. 

"I opened the parcel and it was a Muppets card and in big bold writing on the top, it said 'Sorry you're leaving'."

"I laughed because I was so shocked. I thought, are they taking the p***?

"At first, I wondered if someone I knew was pulling a prank on me after hearing about what happened.

"It did made me laugh because it's so insulting and shocking that someone would have the cheek to do something like that."

A couple of days later, she received another parcel from Amazon – this time a huge bag of jelly sweets.

The first purchase was worth £3.39, before another transaction of £5.87 was made from her account the following day.

But two further purchases worth £282.98 each were made separately days later – and sent to an Amazon self-service kiosk somewhere else in the UK.

"They only made small value purchases to begin with, obviously to see if I noticed unusual activity on my account," she added.

"They must have been the card and the sweets they sent to my address.

"But when they could see I hadn't reported anything, because I was away and wasn't checking my account, they started making bigger purcheses."

"My stomach dropped when I saw my account because I knew I hadn't used my card for anything for the past week," she added.

"I'd only taken cash with me on holiday, so I'd not used my card for a while.

"I knew straight away something wasn't right and my initial thought was, what else do they have access to? They could have access to anything, and the most concerning thing is that they know where I live."
