Amazon has blacklisted two cities in Punjab, Pakistan: Mian Channu and Sahiwal, due to fraudulent activity by sellers based in those areas. This action was taken to curb the increasing number of fraudulent accounts and protect both Amazon and its customers.
Examples of fraudulent activity:
- Fake product listings: Sellers create listings for products that don't exist or are misrepresented.
- Counterfeit goods: Sellers sell fake or counterfeit products that are not authorized by the brand.
- Scams and phishing: Sellers use fraudulent schemes to trick customers into providing personal or financial information.
Impact of the blacklist:
- Sellers from these cities are unable to create new Amazon accounts.
- Existing accounts linked to IP addresses in these cities may be suspended or banned.
- Amazon may also block access to its platform from these areas.
Amazon is constantly working to combat fraud and protect its users. This blacklist serves as a measure to reduce fraudulent activity and improve the overall experience for both buyers and sellers.
