Your bank can help to investigate and track down someone using your debit card online and Amazon can see the IP address and device that made the purchase.

Also the purchases would go to the fraudsters address which is another way they can be potentially tracked down.

If someone used your debit card or credit card on Amazon you should contact Amazon, the bank or credit card company and also file a police report.

Banks can sometimes find out who used your debit card.

Tracking down who used a debit card or credit card is sometimes possible, especially if the fraud involved physical transactions at locations that are identifiable or online transactions with a traceable IP address and information about the device.

If someone used your debit card you should contact your bank immediately and let them investigate the issue.

Credit card and debit card frauds don't always get caught and it's estimated that less than 1 percent of credit card frauds and debit card frauds get caught.

It can be hard to catch credit card and debit card and debit card fraud and the people who do the fraud.

Credit card and debit card fraudsters will often use services that are anonymous and use advanced technology which make it difficult to track them down when committing the credit card fraud.

Victims of credit card fraud don't always report the credit card or bank fraud to the police and only the bank or credit card companies.

Banks and credit card companies don't always report the credit card or debit card fraud to the police if it's not a large amount.

Some ways that credit card fraud can be caught include.

A clerk notices someone using a stolen credit card and calls the police.
An investigator traces a criminal who uses a stolen credit card number online.
A bank detects suspicious activity on a credit card account.

If you report any credit card or debit card fraud on your account quickly enough you won't be held responsible for the charges.

Credit card companies and merchants will frequently update the security measures they use to prevent credit card fraud, and their investigators will check into issues as they occur.

Law enforcement may also get involved, depending on the type of credit card or debit card fraud and the amount involved.
