That's amazing. It's clearly a scam and it's been going on for almost 1 year. This really hurts Amazon's credibility and can't be good for them in the long-term

  It seems incredible to get away with selling such a brazenly fake product for so long - as well as the reviews, I would expect that Amazon have had several complaints about this. I don't know if perhaps there is some weird legal shenanigans going on, where Amazon are more able to get away with this in the US? Here in the UK, I've never come across such obvious deceit, or (knowingly!) ended up with a fake/counterfeit, across what must be at least hundreds of purchases, spanning 10+ years.

    It certainly hurt their credibility with me–I cancelled Prime and stopped buying on Amazon a year ago because of this nonsense, after being a subscriber for nearly a decade and having an Amazon rewards credit card since 2008. What’s the point of paying a membership fee for the privilege of sorting through garbage, scams and counterfeits yourself?
