SE OpSec - cascaprise - 03-08-2022
Hi, I started SEing recently, mostly light items under €100 from Amazon using the EB method.
So far, I never failed a SE, probably because of the cheap price of the items, but I'm starting to come across more and more complications: the last week of February they suspended 2 of my Amazon accounts as soon as I ordered, they asked for a bank statement both of the times which I didn't send them. This weekend I made another, and it didn't get suspended, but today after I contacted them about my order the representative said they were going to open an investigation because my item was stolen, even tho I told him that when I went to pick it up from a pickup point it was sealed and wasn't damaged.
After they emailed me with some questions like "Order number, shipping number, have you ever had similar experiences with Amazon? ", I answered, and they issued a refund some minutes after.
My question is why is this happening? Why didn't I come across these problems with my first orders? I always change IP, credit card, name, address and everything else, after every SE I reset my windows virtual machine. Is it maybe that I'm coming across more types of representatives, some more brain-dead, some more smart? Or is it that somehow they're linking my accounts?
Thanks for the answers.

In terms of reps working strictly by the book, If suspicion Is raised with the claim or some type of Inconsistency Is Identified/detected, It will be assessed with a fine-tooth comb.
