Amazon sues group that fakes returns so people can get free

[account_disabled]

Amazon is suing a mischievous but enterprising group called REKK for offering a paid service to willing buyers looking to get big-ticket items like laptops and gaming consoles at a low price, taking advantage of its return and refund system. This isn't like when you try to return a small item purchased on Amazon, like a pair of socks, and the system refunds you without telling you to return it. As reported by Bloomberg, the Amazon lawsuit accuses REKK of using social engineering and phishing attacks on Amazon fulfillment employees or bribery to obtain millions of dollars in refunds without having to return the items. A text exchange shows REKK hiring an Amazon employee.

An example from the lawsuit shows how the scheme worked: One defendant, Andrew Ling, ordered five iPads and then worked with REKK to get a refund. In this case, REKK allegedly used a phishing attack against a fulfillment center employee to mark iPad returns as received in Amazon's systems. One Amazon employee bribed by REKK allegedly approved 76 product returns worth more than $100,000 in exchange for $3,500, while another was paid $5,000 to approve 56 fake returns worth more than $75,000.
