Why would you give people the benefit of the doubt? We're stoopid.
Some are stupid, absolutely
But we can all easily be screwed over by fake products
Shit I got a fake SanDisk SD card a few years ago from Amazon, only found out after the return period because of how long it took to fill. Now I only buy storage from local electronics stores (when I can) and even then I test them.
It's not all Amazon's fault. Sometimes people buy a thing, then return it "unopened" because reasons, when, what they actually did, was remove the MacBook from the package and replaced it with a brick, then shipped it back to Amazon for a refund. Free MacBook.
Amazon restocks it because it was "unopened" and ships a fucking brick in a MacBook box to someone for thousands of dollars.
But yes, many, many, MANY, expensive products on Amazon are fake. Even not expensive ones too.

There is a lot of red team country there.
