Fraud and Amazon.
A bigger fraud is how many counterfeit items there are on Amazon. It is getting a bit too crazy. You really have to check and make sure that the item you are ordering is being sold by the company you are intending to purchase it from.
I take a fish oil pill (actually several throughout the day) that are very high in Omega-3. They are expensive. So I went on Amazon to get a deal.
Sure enough they had them for about $7 less than in the store. So I bought some. The label on the bottle, not the same. It looked like somebody printed it with stuff you might have in a high school art class. The softgels also looked odd. The two halves not perfectly lined up when fusing together. They sweat even with the anti-moisture packets in the bottle. Eventually they all began to pop on their own. I looked at the date and lot info on the bottle and it is not the same font as the real one I got at the store.
I took this evidence to Amazon and informed them that this is a counterfeit item. They said they would look into it. The product is still available for purchase a year later. They don't care that somebody might be taking this to lower their LDL cholesterol and that it probably doesn't have jack-shit in it for Omega-3's. So they are probably having a few people die prematurely taking this crap. But they got their money before they died.
I don't think I will ever buy a food item of any kind of Amazon anymore. Just cannot trust them.
I have found many counterfeit items and reported them. They never do anything about it. Have had many conversations with management from big tech companies that enjoy my evidence collection abilities. Perhaps they get out of court settlements out of it. But just a shady way of doing business and when it comes to food items, deadly!
