Its 100% a huge issue with Amazon, at this point pretty sure everyone knows how all the different sellers get lumped in together so you order from seller A and recieve a product from seller B because Amazon considers them the same thing. Means you can't even be sure wether the seller you thought you purchased from is the one that scammed you; and means even buying from a companies official amazon listing isn't protection.
Yea I reckon most people don't know. Terminally online people know. In your average household, Amazon is prolly considered trustworthy.
