Four brothers face up to 20 years in jail after allegedly scamming online retail giant Amazon out of $20 million.

The brothers allegedly modified the ASIN numbers in Amazon orders to make them look like Amazon were buying a larger quantity of something else, then billed the company for it.

Another alleged deception involved substituting one bottle of designer perfume with close to a thousand plastic beard trimmers. They also discussed their alleged scams and techniques in a WhatsApp group, guiding each other how to pull off the scam and how to react when Amazon started cracking down. WhatsApp messages are encrypted but that doesn’t mean the never end up in the hands of authorities. Picture: Nicolas Asfouri / AFPThe brothers allegedly used virtual private networks to hide their location and the fact they were logging into multiple accounts.“The use of complex technology did not hide the simple fact that the defendants were bilking Amazon for goods they never provided,” Ms Strauss said.
