Amazon customers beware: fraudsters have been targeting Amazon shoppers by creating seller accounts or taking control of genuine vendors to trick users into purchasing expensive items at unrealistically low prices. Amazon has been informed of the existence of fake vendor accounts, but the company hasnt been able to fully block them as the scammers constantly set up new accounts. The user never receives the item and Amazon will not offer a refund as the payment was not made through their system. The scammer claims the problem has been fixed and sends out a confirmation email and final invoice that mimic the Amazon template.”]
