Lots of people still don't have smart phones, or computers they travel with. And so they do not use email when they travel.
And believe it or not there are still people in this world that may only have an email address with their employer which they don't access regularly outside of work.
And now back to the original article:
We are only getting one of many parts of this story, for all we know the scammer perfectly told a sob story about ordering a gift for their grandson who they haven't seen in several years and will be visiting soon but it didn't arrive in time for their trip and now would like it sent directly to the grandson while they are visiting him so they can still see the joy their gift will bring him.
My point is I don't assume that Amazon isn't trying pretty hard to prevent this fraud, and I don't assume scammers aren't putting in quite a bit of work to commit it.
