Telling her privately that her account is associated with a fraudulent account has not caused her any harm, thus its not libeled her.
Only if they published it to the world, she could claim her reputation has been harmed.
- chris_wot 14y agoActually, it did because she lost all her books and she isn't able to get them back.
- Evbn 14y agoThe loss of books has nothing to do with the speech act of libel.

- dangrossman 14y ago1:00 PM -- fraud system links her account to another banned account 1:00 PM -- her account is closed 2:00 PM -- she asks Amazon why her account is closed 3:00 PM -- Amazon makes the statement you claim is libelous The loss occurred before the statement, so you cannot claim the statement caused that loss. The alleged libel did not result in the damages you're claiming. Libel would be if Amazon falsely accused her of fraud in public, then her employer terminating her employment as a result of that statement. That is a harm resulting from the statement.
