Amazon investigates three domestic counterfeiting dens and seizes more than 240,000 counterfeit products

Amazon recently announced that based on intelligence provided by its counterfeit crime team , local public security departments successfully discovered and destroyed three counterfeit product production and sales dens . It is reported that law enforcement agencies seized more than 240,000 counterfeit products in Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.

The seizure, which prevents the fakes from reaching Amazon customers , follows similar actions by law enforcement in the UK and the US .

Based on the intelligence provided by Amazon , local law enforcement agencies successfully identified and destroyed three counterfeiting dens and their upstream suppliers. The main suspect has been detained by the local public security bureau, awaiting further investigation. The listings related to these products have been removed from the shelves.

During the searches of counterfeiting dens , law enforcement agencies seized more than 130,000 counterfeit auto parts and brand labels from multiple brands, including BMW, Porsche, and General Motors, nearly 80,000 counterfeit luxury goods, and nearly 30,000 counterfeit clothing and brand labels from brands such as Puma and Under Armour.

In addition, Amazon also cooperates with domestic public security departments to carry out relevant law enforcement actions . Some people illegally purchase government-issued personal ID cards and business licenses and use this information to register Amazon seller accounts.

Last year, Amazon seized more than 2.5 million Amazon accounts registered with illegal information from around the world and restricted these accounts from selling normally on the platform .

Amazon has launched a global crackdown on counterfeit goods , and recently filed joint lawsuits with Cartier , General Electric, WWE, Salvatore Ferragamo and Felco, among other well-known brands. Through this cooperation, Amazon's relevant departments can learn the latest developments of counterfeiters .

" Amazon cannot tolerate any fraud. The production and sale of counterfeit goods seriously damages the intellectual property rights of related brands and the legitimate interests of other sellers and consumers. We will continue to work hard until all counterfeit products are removed," said Dahamesh Mehta , vice president of Amazon 's global sales partner services .

Thanks to a series of measures taken by Amazon, the platform's operating environment has improved to a certain extent, which is also fairer to sellers who do business honestly.
