Amazon was swindled over 300 euros by the same customer. A 000-year-old Spaniard has long profited from the negligence of the e-commerce site, a barely believable story that highlights the flaws in Amazon's parcel return system.
James Gilbert Kwarteng, a young man of 22, managed to embezzle the impressive sum of 330 euros by taking advantage of Amazon's loopholes, reports the Spanish.com website. His method: return packages purchased on the e-commerce site, having taken care to replace the original product with sand, while ensuring that the returned package was exactly the same weight as the original one.
How Amazon was robbed of more than € 300 by the same customer
You might think that Amazon employees check products every time they are returned, but the reality is quite different. The company is content to weigh the package to verify the consistency of the weights, a loophole that the pinned customer has exploited over a long period of time. However, this is not the first time that Amazon has been fooled by this kind of deception.
This also prompted him to start closing accounts that require too many repayments. When the measure was announced, the firm explained that these blockages targeted a limited number of customers who abuse its system over an extended period of time. In this case, the young man simply resold the recovered products at prices sufficiently below normal value to attract customers quickly.
He even created an e-commerce site specially dedicated to the resale of these articles, generally electronic objects without their packaging, but in new condition. Obviously, his game ended up being laid bare. Arrested by Barcelona police, James Gilbert Kwarteng was then released on bail pending trial. He faces up to six years in prison for fraud.
