Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) has announced<\/a> two joint lawsuits against a social media influencer and eight businesses for advertising promoting and facilitating the sale of counterfeit luxury goods through Instagram and other websites that infringe on Cartier\u2019s registered trademarks and violates Amazon\u2019s policies.\u00a0 These lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington and allege the defendants colluded with one another to sell counterfeit products and engage in false advertising.\u00a0 \u201cBy using social media to promote counterfeit products, bad actors undermine trust and mislead customers,\u201d said Kebharu Smith, associate general counsel and director of the\u00a0Amazon\u00a0Counterfeit Crimes Unit (CCU). \u201cAmazon will keep investing and innovating to stay ahead of counterfeiters, and working with brands and law enforcement to hold bad actors accountable. We don\u2019t just want to chase them away from Amazon\u2014we want to stop them for good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempting to Circumvent Anti-Counterfeiting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuits allege that a social media influencer conspired with bad actors to attempt to circumvent Amazon\u2019s anti-counterfeiting detection tools by promoting counterfeit luxury products\u2014including fake Cartier bracelets, necklaces, and rings\u2014on Instagram as well as their own websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct Messaging and Direct Links<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The criminals repeatedly directed and instructed their social media followers on how to try to purchase infringing products on Amazon, by directing them to links or sending direct messages from Instagram, on how to purchase \u201chigh-quality copies\u201d of luxury brands such as Cartier in the Amazon store and other online marketplaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon.com, Inc.
