Yes, many counterfeit products across many product areas. Small electronics and children's toys have been the worst. No outright scams yet (brick in a box) but we’ve stopped using Amazon for most things because it’s just not worth the hassle.

Co-worker got a glass jar in a box instead of a Blue Yeti Microphone. Sadly he lost everything because his dad threw out the trash before he could get pictures and return it to Amazon.

  Credit card chargeback on that.

    I think the fear is that doing a charge back would have repercussions worse than the loss of that order if you continually do business with Amazon.

The children’s toys are insane! My wife and I stopped buying anything for our daughter from Amazon when she was a few months old. We kept on getting products that were either counterfeits or cheap knockoffs. The most obvious was a book that had clearly been scanned, reprinted, and had a new label very poorly copied/pasted over the original publisher’s name.
