Amazon Scams (Patreon)

After our episode about mystery seeds and brushing, Adrianne learned about lots of other Amazon seller and buyer scams, so she shared them with the rest of us.

Show notes:

• We were not talking about a Reply All episode; it was a Planet Money episode called Cat Scam
• Even Amazon’s own products are getting hijacked by imposter sellers (The Verge)
• Example of a seller info page on Amazon
• Frank on Fraud (on Fire)
• A Series of Mysterious Packages (Planet Money)
