like, no way.
so I mailed them. And they say they need my address and phone number. These are both public here in Sweden. So what can they do with this.
They also say this is so that they can make a order for me........
oh, I think i get it. They make the order and then ask me for money, money that are sent outside amazon.

Electronics are expensive but it seems nearly everything in Norway is even more expensive. All the Swedish shops near the Norwegian/Swedish border can attest to that since they're making a fortune on the neighbors arriving to fill their cars/SUVs with cheaper food, drink etc.
However, the Norwegian currency has fallen so much that it's worth less than the Swedish one, a first in many many years afaik (and it pisses my mother off to no end since her pension from Norway is suddenly much lower due to exchange rates last couple of months). I guess Norway's oil dependency showed it's achilles heal. Oil prices dumped to next to nothing in combination with severe lock down causing the economy to fall rapidly. :/
And now the Saudis seem to try to smack the oil-economy dependent countries with another crash: "Incoming 50 Million Barrel ‘Saudi Oil Bomb’ Could Send Prices Even Lower".

Ohh our country is stupidly overpriced on more or less everything. Meat doesn't seem much cheaper in sweden though at least. But other stuff can be under half the price. And i'm damn sure we don't earn over twice as much  I've just long concluded that Norwegians are greedy.
And about the country, it certainly doesn't help with the rise of the barfingly green treefuckers in the country either. They would ruin the country with their idealism and plain idiocy if they ever got half a chance. They're absolutely nuts. Fortunately people will wake up now that they can personally feel economical issues, so i expect them to not being taken very seriously when they try to make outrageous changes and claims.
Our gorvernment has to prioritize it's citizens more now as well, since so many people have lost their jobs and is expected to struggle with their loans etc. I expect some things at least will be easier, yet as with all things, other things will be worse. I can't remember the last truly good thing our government did for our people though and i hope that changes now. It's usually some EU asslicking or insane new taxes we hear about, but let's see if they can for once prioritize our quality of life during this time.
Also crossing fingers that our shitty government stops pissing money on countries completely incapable of dealing with their own issues. That would ease a lot of burdens inside at least, and we most likely will need it before too long.
That was more rambling than i intended
Anyway, sad to hear about your mother and i hope it will work itself out at some point.

545€
They mailed me again. Saying they need full name, adress and phone number.
They would then send this info to Amazon and Amazon would then send me a bill and tracking information.

Let me guess, they will send an email "impersonating" Amazon. With a spoofed email header etc.
