I just spent way too much time tracking down how to report a scam on Amazon to Amazon and the FTC and then reporting it and writing a review to tell people how to report it for a $6 can of cat food that I personally did not order ever. 🥴😅💀✊😂😂😂

    The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

    I’m proud of you OP, well done.

      They refused to contact me back with the results of their “investigation”. I asked what I should do if I see the post again and they said to contact them again. I tried to report it to the FTC but I would have had to lie about having purchased it which I didn’t want to risk ruining the report by doing so. I’m half considering actually buying it in order to be able to 😅🤔😬

      Dunno if we’ll get a response. If you read all the pictures, Amazon staff asks for an order number and the person messaging says they just read the reviews.

    I think my justice sensitivity is in a probably normal range.

    However it took my spine to catch up.

    Anyway i more or less shat on a seller selling me a faulty Xbox 360 without accurately telling me the condition. “The drive works fine except for a few hitches” doesn’t map well onto “The drive didn’t even open until i fixed that and now i’m trying to fix an issue that prevents the drive to read discs.”

    unfortunately it’s too common on Amazon (at least in Egypt) that you have to make sure the photo has a carton or 24 cans

      I am so angry that they don’t have an easy “report this posting” button. Firstly, you have to go on a computer, you can’t do it at all on the app. Then it’s a tiny bit of text kind of hidden under suggested products and the report form doesn’t allow you to upload photos or anything so it just feels like it’s a throw away form. So I did that and then contacted the customer service bot and you have to be careful how you word it because “I need to report a fraudulent seller” makes the bot respond with prompts about phishing emails or calls pretending to be from Amazon and if you try to go back and start over it remembers what you’ve already said and gets confused and just gives you dead ends… But if you can just get it to give you a customer service rep you can eventually get them to say nice words to you pretending they will investigate an “take care of it”. Which I’m sure is bullshit. Gahhhhh such angry
