    If only there were a way to make it so employees weren’t willing to risk their jobs scamming the company to just to earn an extra $100. 🤔

      This is a real tough problem here, not sure how we could possible solve it. Clearly the answer is to throw more money at the CEO.

        Won’t anyone think of the billionaires? They are persecuted every day and lose hard earned money on this. I only hope Jeff can afford to go to space again after this scandal. Thots and prayers.

        That’s not the right answer. First, let’s hire McKinsey for a few millions to analyze related cases and Amazon’s processes. After that, we can implement their recommendation of a 5% downsizing, CEO salary increase, and a stock buyback program.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Amazon is suing a naughty but enterprising group called REKK for offering a paid service to willing shoppers looking to get big-ticket items like laptops and game consoles for cheap by exploiting its return and refund system.

    This isn’t like the times you try to return a small item purchased from Amazon, like a pair of socks, and the system refunds you without telling you to send it back.

    As reported by Bloomberg, Amazon’s lawsuit accuses REKK of using social engineering and phishing attacks on Amazon fulfillment employees or bribes to get millions of dollars in refunds without actually sending the items back.

    REKK advertised its services to shoppers in a Telegram channel with 30,000 followers, taking payment as a part of the item’s original price and then manipulating the system to log a return, which never happened.

    In this case, REKK allegedly used a phishing attack against a fulfillment center employee to mark the iPad returns as received in Amazon’s systems.

    Filed Thursday in a US District Court in the state of Washington, it names more than two dozen people from the US, the UK, Canada, Greece, Lithuania, and the Netherlands.
