Could you please share a couple of scams/knock-offs from Amazon? I would like to know what to avoid, otherwise your below quote is rather incendiary.

> Amazon is what Canal Street was in the 90s - somewhere to buy fakes, stolen goods, and electronics that might catch fire.

I bought a Kershaw Leek from the Kershaw store on Amazon last month. I received a knife that was clearly used, it was dull, dirty, and scratched.

I bought fake Scotch-Brite sponges, fake Brawny paper towels and Gildan t-shirts that bled like crazy and faded after one wash. I now refuse shop at Amazon.

I once got a fake Colgate toothpaste. The printing was weird and it was liquidy, and half full.
