​Has anyone else experienced this “scam”, if it even is one?

I work for a small local boutique in a small town and we’ve recently gotten 3 separate online pickup orders from different people for the same single bite-sized $1 chocolate. I know it might not sound that weird, but for our store it is. We specialize in local art and fair trade/charitable/sustainable goods, our little chocolates are just last minute impulse buys up by the register. If anyone is shopping our website, that is literally the strangest single item to order. I could understand someone calling to ask if we have/can set aside a lil treat to pick up, but to place an online order is really strange.

2 of the 3 orders were placed very early in the morning, around 2am (which is an odd time to decide you want to buy a singular .29oz chocolate online). 2 of the 3 email addresses include a name that does not match the order name, the other one looks like if you mashed your hand on the keyboard and made it your email address. They’re all different card numbers, phone numbers with different out of state area codes, and addresses that are out of state and don’t match their phone area codes (most of our pickup orders are obviously from local addresses).

I’m just wondering what the angle is here (if there is any)? Since they’re pickup orders, they can’t say they never received the item… These are not typical online orders, we get ~5 orders a month, and these 3 have happened in the last week and a half. Like I said I realize all this might sound dumb, but getting 3 strange pickup orders of the smallest, cheapest item we carry from 3 different people is not normal.

Also noting that we canceled all those orders, but I’m curious to see who would’ve come by to pick them up. I’m guessing no one.
