Not as easy as you might think. Not sure about amazon but some apps have anti-spoofing detection. Not sure what they look for, probably precision and correlated

  Yes, there are methods that apps can implement to detect anti-spoofing but as long as you have physical control of the computer/smartphone then it is just a matter of time before the anti-features are defeated if there are incentives to do so -- especially a monetary incentive. Case in point... I found a whole community dedicated to spoofing Pokemon Go -- https://old.reddit.com/r/PokemonGoSpoofing/ https://old.reddit.com/r/PokemonGoSpoofing/

    As a former (very casual) spoofer…it’s far, far harder than it used to be. When the game was new-ish, and I was on Android, it was trivial. Just install a GPS spoofer, move the on-screen control, and you start walking. Nice when it was winter. It was also terrible for the gameplay, and they cracked down hard. You can still spoof, but it requires a relatively high degree of technical ability. On iOS, you have to, generally, install a shady enterprise certificate and use a hacked third-party binary of Pokémon Go. On Android, you have to have root, and then jump through many other hoops that are specific to your phone and OS version. All of that boils down to…yeah, you can always find a hack, but past some level, it becomes extremely fragile, and you would not want to rely on a hack for your livelihood. (And if you are capable of staying ahead of the app and OS developers, well, I suspect there may be a different job opportunity out there for you.)
