The
new Amazon.com
google Shopping Spam Scam...
Amazon.com
seems to
be running a scam on Google Shopping. They load in 50 Google shopping
feeds under many many names with absurdly low prices that go directly
to Amazon.com at a much higher price or goto an intermediary URL or web
address that redirects to Amazon.com
Lets start with the names and the funniest one...
There is actually
a scam google feed that redirects to
Amazon.com under the name of Conn and Amakon..

This is the beginning of the list. There are more that I have
forwared
to Googles shopping tech team but did not write them down...
Here is an example... Run a search on Google Shopping for the Optoma
PK301 it is a hand held $350 ish projector... Sort it by price, lowest
to highest...
You will get :
Amaceller and Amakon at $.10 , thats right, 10 cents...
You click on it, it goes to a redirect to amazon.com for over $370.
Do the same with the PK201 same deal, you get the Amasella and Amakon
at a dime.. Redirects to Amazon at $299
If that is not a total scam I do not know what is.. They load in these
totally outlandish prices to get listed at the top of Google Shopping
them get you to their site.. WHERE, Amazon.com makes 8-12% of the
10-15% profit the sellers make on Amazon.com .. So basically Amazon
makes 90% of the profits on anything sold on Amazon.com. Amazon
is
a joke at face value let alone run lame scams like this to drive people
to their site.. They are authorized for nothing, know nothing about
anything they sell, but they sell everything imaginable..
It is like you cannot even run an
honest business anymore you have to run little scams on customers to do
business online.. When are consumers going to wake up and realize price
is not everything, any old 12 year old can sell online these days and
if 90% of the people consumers buy off of were right in front of them
at the time of sale.. I think 75% of those consumers would decide to
buy from someone else.. The web makes it all look so pretty and
colorful
though don't it???
