It is so prevalent, the question is: why are people shopping at a company intentionally having a go at misleading them?

  Same reasons people use Discord. Convenience, herd mentality, discounting risk that's intangible from an evolutionary biology perspective (fraud and privacy violations don't activate the amygdala the same way a bear charging at you does), illusion of lack of choice (which is really just lack of knowledge of choice), resistance to change, apathy, stockholm syndrome, and basing decisions on emotion rather than rational and critical analysis.

  Because the issue of fake reviews and scam products is blown out of proportion. Amazon remains one of the most convenient digital stores to shop on. I have almost never received a product that was different than what I expected. On the rare occasions that it did, it was because of a misjudgment on my part rather than misleading advertising. I have learned from my experiences.

    There's a wide spectrum of 'scam' products on Amazon. The obvious scams, like this, are quickly spotted, but there are other less obvious situations where people may get subpar items and most don't even realize it. Things like: items sold as new which technically aren't, gray market imports, modified items, quality fakes, items that aren't fake but are misrepresentative of another item, etc. These are all over Amazon, and other marketplaces.
