Ghanaian Based In Spain Arrested For Scamming Amazon Out of $370,000 In the ‘Biggest Amazon Scam in Europe’

A Ghanaian in Spain has been arrested after pulling off one of the greatest scams ever in Amazon history, duping the online retail store of over $370,000.

James Gilbert Kwarteng, 22, would order items from Amazon and then return them for a refund.

Kwarteng found a way to use Amazon’s return policy to make money for himself by not actually returning the item. What he did was fill a box with dirt weighing exactly as the item he ordered and then send it back to Amazon as defective and receive a refund. He would then sell the original item he took from the box.

The scam was not discovered because whilst Amazon received rejected goods and provide customers with a refund, the returned boxes are not opened immediately.

Kwarteng made circa $370,000 from the scam before it was discovered when Amazon reviewed their return policy and an employee found the boxes filled with dirt.
