I have never bought a thing from Scamazon and never will. About once a month I get a phone call from some idiot that barely speaks english telling me I owe them $1,200. They've tried to collect that amount of money from me for a couple of years. Good luck with that!

That would be a third party scammer/phisher. My junk mail is full of notices that my McAffee and Facebook accounts have been closed, and I need to take action, but I have neither, plus all the other alerts of breeched passwords and what not. My Camp LeJeune claims have been settled at least 40 times. Plenty of robocalls along those lines as well.

They sell through Amazon and Amazon does nothing to stop them. Therefore, Amazon condones this and is "the seller".

I'm 100% confident in my position here. Amazon does not condone the sale of counterfeit goods.

I'm not an Amazon insider, but let's just say I'm close enough to this to have an informed point of view.

I'm a big Amazon customer and have never received counterfeit goods through them, but let's be realistic. Despite making good faith efforts to curb bogus goods, they have little control over what their third party sellers do day to day. If customers complain enough about a seller, they may shut them down but those same sellers will reappear before long under a different name. Besides, some customers don't care that they are buying knockoffs as long as the price is right.

You do have to take some care shopping Amazon. If a price is too good to be true, it probably is. In the OP's case, I'm sure Amazon will make it right with his stepdaughter.

They list it for sale, they process the payments, they assist in shipping and they don't stop it. So they are as responsible for the selling the fakes as the seller selling it on their platform. I guess I need to get some rose colored glasses. Hey, maybe I can get them on Amazon.
