Amazon scams that are hard to guard against

1. Encountering part-time operation scammers during the recruitment process

The applicant asks for an account number and a diagnosis first. Then he/she will not come for the interview for various reasons, but will continue to talk to you about the operation of the store. He/she will leave you alone and then say that he/she cannot come to work this month and asks if he/she can try part-time for a month. He/she will guarantee that he/she will not let you down. Then the price is not high, about 3000-3500.

After you open a sub-account for them, they will soon receive a promotion plan with only one core content:

There is nothing wrong with spending some money on promotion, but the problem is that the input-output ratio is seriously wrong. Every day, you just help optimize titles, descriptions, and change pictures, and every now and then you have to pay advertising fees and grab the bid. Not to mention conversion, even the exposure has not increased much.

Gradually you will find that what is wasted is not only the 3,000 yuan salary, but also various expensive expenses, and the recruitment time is wasted.

It is said that this is a new scam by agents; these days, the reputation of agents is notorious, so they change their names and use the excuse that they cannot work at the beginning, and use their divorce, family illness, unemployment and family affairs, and the boss's anxious psychology of looking for talents to win the sympathy of the local bosses, and defraud them of a month's agent operation. If they encounter a local boss who is a little more watered down, they can defraud more advertising and promotion fees. If the local bosses are unwilling to spend money on advertising, they will not lose money. Anyway, it doesn't take much time to deal with the account every day, and those local bosses don't know whether the other party is working.

2. I found a local boss who operated on Amazon and charged me 3 months of operating fees. If the annual sales volume is not 5 million, I will refund the full amount. After receiving the money, I will put the product on your shelf and optimize the title. It doesn’t matter if the contract expires in 3 months. It’s an annual contract. If you don’t pay me the operating fee for the next quarter, how can I operate? You are the one who breached the contract, not him.

3. The salesperson for management software found a local boss who wanted to make sales, and said he could help him lead a team without paying a basic salary, and give him a certain amount of dividends based on the sales. He also boasted professionally. The boss thought that there was nothing to lose, so he just came. After he came, he wanted to make changes, so he recommended a set of customer management software for 80,000 yuan. After the boss bought it, he ran away with various excuses.

4. When small and medium-sized sellers are looking for products, they encounter powerful manufacturers that ship products from overseas warehouses in large quantities. All you need to do is put the products on the shelves without any investment. However, when you really put the products on the shelves, you need to purchase ERP software worth tens of thousands of yuan. This is an upgraded version of the previous no-source scam.

5. Go to various foreign trade Amazon groups and add newbies. After an in-depth chat, they say they also started from scratch and learned from a certain teacher’s explosive sales course, and now they have thousands of orders a day. Then they paid 80,000 yuan for a course on Amazon’s bragging science competition.

6. The service provider pretends to be a business manager and charges you 8,000 yuan to open a store and register an account. After finding out that you are a novice, there are various tricks waiting for you.

7. When a trading company or foreign middleman places an order, everything goes smoothly at first. A small deposit is paid smoothly, and the factory starts production. After the bulk of the goods are finished, they find excuses such as the customer going bankrupt and no longer want the goods, nor the 5% deposit. After another month or two, someone will come to collect the inventory. You know what I mean.
