How is claiming a replacement product for a item you don't have by using a pre paid or stolen credit card (unless you're completely stupid and use you own) to pass the credit check (they take $1 instead of putting the full retail price on hold, like they're meant too) for a advance replacement to be shipped to a buyers address not a scam ?

When Microsoft finally click on and get fed up of being scammed whats stopping them bricking the console or attempting to charge the person who they were delivered too ? I'm assuming it would be pretty difficult for the buyer to wriggle his way out of that considering it was delivered to their address and signed for by them and the only info they have on you would be a bitcoin address.
