Amazon is not law enforcement. You should actually blame the government and disinterested services like police.
If someone created an online store like Amazon and essentially gave fraudsters free reign, they would be closed in no time, but this company is too big to fail and nobody seems to want to upset the billionaire owning it.
It's a classic example of one set of laws for the rich and another for the pleb.
- staindk 4y agoI do blame Amazon for their short-sightedness. This is driving people away from using them and in the long term I don't think it will have been good to allow this sketchy shit. You are right that other consumer protection laws etc. should be put in place to make fake reviews, product listing swap-outs etc. impossible.
- ogn3rd 4y agoSeems they're following the eBay model. Since they profit from the fraud they won't stop it.
- buran77 4y agoWhy not both? I can easily blame Amazon for scamming me (anything that happens via Amazon.tld is Amazon's doing), and regulators/courts for taking the brib... lobbying money and suddenly losing interest in doing their job in this particular case.
- shkkmo 4y agoYes, Amazon is not law enforcement. Law Enforcement should investigate Amazon for helping perpetuate this fraud.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoif Amazon is innocent then Alcapone and mafia bisses are innocent - after all they did have to get Alcapone for income tax evasion, therw was no proof that he ever personally killed or extorted anyone. Amazon knows exactly whats is happening and they are profiting off it
- SpelingBeeChamp 4y agoI think this may just be a weird autocorrect, but on the chance it’s not, FYI the guy’s first name is (/was) Al, and his last name is Capone. Al Capone.
