Does anyone know what this scam is? My wife just got an confirmation email from a Domino's Pizza in New Jersey for a carry-out order for a 2-liter of Sprite. It was sent to her personal email with her full name and cell phone number. We called the store and the CC# used isn't any of ours. WTF?

My best guess is that they're doing automated credit card testing with small transactions, using name/phone/email from an identity breach? But this seems like a terrible way to do it. Why use her email/phone number at all? Baffling.

My wife had something similar happen with a Walmart account after a data breach. Had to check her CC statement & it was used to buy a few hundred $$ worth of stuff. She also got the confirmations for the order. I suspect it's a bot they're running en masse to see what they can get through.
