Then, a few years back I read about how people probe credit card numbers by doing small online purchases to random people from any of the thousands of leaked databases. This was the only thing that made sense in retrospect.

It’s possible that it was part of another kind of scam - I’ve heard that third party sellers on Amazon did this to provide a seemingly valid package tracking number with delivery address in the same city as scammed person so the system will register package as delivered.
