I stumbled upon the latest Amazon scam this past week. I was searching through my Amazon order history to find a wallet I had ordered years ago in the past. Imagine my surprise when my query for "wallet" returned an order with the wallet's name as the title, an image of a 5 pack of Lightning cables as the picture, and a 3 pack of Lightning cables when I actually clicked through.
The reviews [0] were clearly for a bunch of different items: the wallet I had purchased in the past, a laser pointer/clicker for pets, socks, etc. But the current item being sold was a set of generic Lightning cables. It amazes me that Amazon would let sellers so blatantly apply reviews from a bunch of older and wholly unrelated items to a completely new (and also unrelated) item.

- cstrat 7y agoThe photo of the wallet falling apart with the Indian cough syrup packaging is hilarious... wow what a shambles having the same product code recycled by a vendor for multiple "crappy" products.

- astura 7y agoWow, one of the recent (almost certainly fake) five star reviews looks auto generated. >They are really durable because they have just arrived, they are good price, they are exactly the length I want, they arrive very quickly and they look good quality.What else do I want?I can only think that the product is really good! Also looks like the non-charger reviews are hidden on the mobile site?
