"What is the truth of the situation that Amazon is clamoring that" Clay arrived when you bought iPhone 6s "?

In the customer review column of iPhone 6s sold on Amazon, "I ordered an iPhone but only clay contained in the boxThere is a situation in which a large number of one-star reviews are written as "We have one. A lot of evidence photos of clay filled iPhone cases are also released and it seems that fraudsters are selling malicious products at first glance, but Cory Klein, who runs software and program blogs, I will explain the truth of this situation.

There is no possibility that there are malicious vendors trying to sell Amazon's clay for $ 1000 (about 100,000 yen) at Amazon, but Amazon is profound for buyersWarranty system, Even if the trader sends the clay instead of the iPhone, the merchant needs to refund or exchange the goods. Mr. Klein who found a massive 1 star review and thought suspiciously, "Clay contained instead of iPhone", "It was empty when opening the box", "It was not unlocked", said, "This time I did not have a fraudster in the situation, and I thought that the user who is posting a 1 star review is not a fraudster. "

Klein's forecast is as follows.

1: Scammer creates Amazon account
2: Purchase iPhone 6s with created account
3: Contractor ships iPhone 6s, weight is recorded on UPS · FedEx
4: Scammer receives iPhone 6s, swaps clay and body and iPhone 6s to pocket
5: The con artist submitted a one-star review with evidence photos saying "clay reached instead of iPhone!", Then apply to Amazon's warranty system
6: Since there is no evidence that the item was shipped correctly except for "weight recorded on UPS / FedEx", there is a possibility that Amazon may request refund to fraudsters. If it succeeds, the con artist gets the iPhone 6s for free


There is a high probability that Amazon will accept the purchaser's application by the warranty system, so there is a possibility that as long as the seller does not even shoot the shipping process with movies, it may have to respond to irrefundable refunds. For example, if a fraudster purchases 10 iPhones 6s and refunds are accepted even for one case, a profit of about 100,000 yen will be issued. Although Amazon may reject refund application as a result of investigation, since the remaining nine iPhone 6s can be resold as it is, the risk of fraudster side is very low method.

Please note that Amazon will disapprove the application "in consideration of the number of applications in the past", so it is expected that it will be difficult to judge whether the application is legitimate or unreasonable from new accounts created one after another.
