> But reporting them not because their product is impossible, but simply because you think they’re selling it too cheaply? I'm talking about stuff like a supposed 1TB generic MicroSD card going for $50, when a legit item would sell for ten times that. Here are some examples: https://www.amazon.com/1024GB-Micro-Memory-Adapter-Camera/dp/B07MTB5Q7M/ https://www.amazon.com/1024GB-Micro-Memory-Adapter-Camera/dp... https://www.amazon.com/FidgetKute-Micro-Memory-Storage-1024GB/dp/B07LBN966B/ https://www.amazon.com/FidgetKute-Micro-Memory-Storage-1024G... https://www.amazon.com/Generica-256GB-Micro-Memory-Adapter/dp/B07MPX97Z1/ https://www.amazon.com/Generica-256GB-Micro-Memory-Adapter/d... https://www.amazon.com/Generica-400GB-Micro-Memory-Adapter/dp/B07MLQ8Z76/ https://www.amazon.com/Generica-400GB-Micro-Memory-Adapter/d... There's a 99-100% chance these are fake, and I don't have to buy one to tell. It took two minutes for me to find them, by the way. A company as rich as Amazon should easily be able to pay someone to search for fakes like that full time, and even purchase cards to verify their fakeness. > Seems abusive. I could report my competitors for selling cheaper than I do and hope they get banned. Offering these things for sale is abusive, reporting them as fake is a public service.

I can see what you're getting at, but I hope you're not one of these people reporting it as a scam by posting reviews. I think it may actually be against Amazon's terms and conditions to 'review' a product you have not purchased. What they say is > [you are] able to review any product on Amazon.co.uk regardless of where you purchased that product Which implies you must have purchased it somewhere.

I'm not going to fret over the precise meaning of Amazon's terms and conditions if doing so means that innocent people will be more likely to be suckered by scammers.
