Letter to the Editor

Potential Amazon customers be warned, never give the company your bank details, they keep deducting money after the Amazon account has been closed.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is a fraud and once you sign on as a member he keeps your personal details and your bank account number and deductions keep going out of your bank even if you close the Amazon account.

In keeping with his shady character he is going to WEF meeting in Davos no doubt to advise big business how to rip off customers.

I closed my Amazon account on 1st January but they took more out a few days ago.

Previously they had debited my bank account every month for a year even though I purchased nothing during that period.

Therefore do not under any circumstances give Amazon any bank or personal details because they are crooks.

Trying to close an account with Amazon is almost impossible. Every obstacle you can think of is in the way. It took me lots of sessions on email, websites and online conversations with foreign employees to close the account.

Why deal with them at all? I realized my mistake and only deal local these days. My bank is unable to stop the deductions. There would be no hope of a refund.

Hopefully all your readers in Australia and around the world take notice of this Amazon fraud.
