Amazon Sues International Group REKK Over Multimillion-Dollar Refund Scam

The lawsuit implicates nearly 30 individuals across six countries and identifies former Amazon employees who allegedly accepted bribes as part of the scam.

Amazon has filed a lawsuit against a group known as REKK, accusing them of defrauding the company of millions of dollars by exploiting its return and refund system.
REKK allegedly used social engineering, phishing attacks, and bribes to Amazon employees to get refunds without actually returning the purchased items.
The group advertised its services on social media platforms and communicated with its clients through the Telegram messaging app.
Amazon's lawsuit implicates nearly 30 individuals from six countries and identifies at least seven former Amazon employees who allegedly participated in the scam by accepting bribes.
Amazon spent $1.2 billion and employed 15,000 people in 2022 to combat theft, fraud, and abuse on its platform.
