Amazon could set up some honey pots.. whereby they themselves send out the product. They know its good.
If a customer tries to scam that one... then Amazon has found their scammer.
Also... I'm surprised that Amazon just hands out these sorts of refunds on big ticket items. If I were them I'd require some sort of biometric data for the refund.
- nkozyra 10y agoBut as the story relates, these people tend to set up new accounts each time. There's little risk here involved for the scammer.
- codecamper 10y agoWhen they come asking for their refund.. get some information about them. And then go after them.
- Maarten88 10y agoCan't they blacklist shipping addresses and/or credit cards? These people open new accounts for a reason; I'd think Amazon could connect and analyze data to discover and mark/blacklist scammers.
- rtkwe 10y agoHard to stop with pre-paid debit cards and PO boxes or mail forwarding services. It'd be pretty easy to just open a new one PO/forwarding address and use a different pre paid debit/VISA gift card to keep scamming.
- iofj 10y agoWouldn't they still need to use the same address ?
