Those are reports of the problem - I get that it's true - but do any of those links actually point to product listings which are clearly fake? I don't think I've ever been sent a fake product, or seen any suspect listings. Maybe I'm gullible and have been buying fake all this time?

I don't buy anything on Amazon that has less than 4 stars and hundreds of reviews. Even 4 stars is a bit low for me.
I don't think I've ever bought a counterfeit product on Amazon.
I looked through all your links, and most of the counterfeit items had less than 100 reviews and almost all couldn't even get a 3 star rating. It's pretty easy to tell that those items are counterfeit actually.
