It was stated in the article that that the credit card transaction was used to purchase something online from Amazon. Now, I'm no detective or anything, but if you buy something from Amazon and have it shipped to your house, just how much "investigating" is required to obtain the shipping address of the person who made the purchase ??
Seems pretty easy to me. Then again, I'm not a trained detective. (maybe I should be)
Amazon will ship to a PO box if you use the US Postal Service for delivery. Also thieves/scammers often use drop boxes, like a UPS store or Mailbox Etc. They use fake ID's to obtain the drop boxes, or stolen identities. In organized groups of scammers they use unsuspecting victims to receive and reship packages for them.
