Scam or fraud: Amazon India — Sharing of confidential information with their partners

Submitted by:  sricskumar

Complaint Details:
I have an account at Amazon India and occasionally I make online purchases using my credit card. While doing it, Amazon India stores my credit card number. Yesterday (26 Jan 2017) i received an email and an SMS from Amazon.com (which is a partner of Amazon India) that US$99 has been charged on my credit card for Amazon Prime Membership annual fee. I do not have an account at Amazon.com. How could Amazon India share my credit card information with their partner Amazon.com and allow them to make a payment on the card without my consent. On contacting Amazon India, I was informed that their partner work independently and I have to communicate with them. Why should Amazon India provide my confidential information about the credit card to their partner and ask me to settle the issue with them directly.
