I have been the victim of multiple instances of fraudulent product, sold directly by Amazon. One was a salt grinder that had a plastic replacement where it should have been metal and was lacking the lettering but was sold on Amazon from the official page. Somewhere in their system Amazon is accepting product that isn't official and happily selling it under than companies brand. If it was a one off I might agree it was a mistake but that has happened three times this year and while Amazon replaces them it is clearly happening commonly now.
Amazon has lost my trust this year, when my prime runs out I wont be renewing.
- rickyc091 6y agoAre you sure there aren't multiple variations of the same product? I made an online purchase for some oral-b toothbrush heads from Target. The item that arrived did not resemble what was on their website. I figure since it's a big retailer, it's probably legit. I checked the official manufacturer's website and the product was also different. Digging a bit deeper into the product images, I finally found one that looked like the version I had.
- PaulKeeble 6y agoQuite certain, it was actually a Chinese knock off of a Salters product. Salters never sold a version with a plastic adjustment bar on the bottom for the reason I saw, it breaks almost immediately. Amazon is really muddying the waters by combining products too. They seem to be merging comments and products that shouldn't be merged and are different SKUs and that is definitely a problem, but its also participating in the fraudulent sale of knock off products and passing them off as the real thing.
