“Watch Out for the New Amazon Scam Costing Customers Hundreds of Euros”

There’s a new scam on Amazon that affects millions of customers, it can cost you hundreds of euros. Here’s what to watch out for.

Amazon is a US company of online commerce of various products. It is the largest internet company in the world, created by Jeff Bezos who was proclaimed man of the year in 1999. He popularized electronic commerce which then extended to other products.

In fact, today on Amazon you can find everything from clothing, to food, to cosmetics and much more. Amazon has become a generalist platform, serving 180 countries and receiving almost 200 million visits every month. There are over 300 million registered users.

Companies can create an account Amazon Business and see their products in a simple and effective way. As far as returns are concerned, all the information is available on the site and also on the product link, as each company has different return policies. For this reason, you should always check them before buying.

Amazon usually offers a impeccable service both in terms of delivery speed and product integrity. However difficult cases can happen such as items returned because they are unsuitable or damaged and sometimes when the return is made there can be complications.

There’s an Amazon scam going around

Many people have reported having lost hundreds of euros on the Amazon platform after purchasing products. A customer bought an iphone 14 pro Max on Amazon, but once he received it, he found many faults. Therefore he decided to return it and at this point the scam takes shape. After a month Amazon receives the product but the package is empty.

Amazon then claims to unable to refund the customer who instead claims to have sent the product for return. So both remain in a stalemate. Apparently it turned out that the iPhone returned by the customer was stolen by the courier during transport. Amazon cannot defend itself against this scam carried out by couriers and therefore is receiving millions of complaints from many people.

Unfortunately Amazon is a Online shop where many sellers make their products available by relying on different couriers. For this reason these are not under the direct control of Amazon which acts only as an intermediary between sellers and customers.

On the other hand, it is different when under the product there is the wording “sold and shipped by Amazon”, in which case any damage or problem that the product presents Amazon assumes full responsibility. Unfortunately, however, for external couriers not managed by Amazon, the situation is more complicated.
