This seller probably started legit to build trust, then switched to scams. They likely shipped fake products or collected some money before being shut down. And now they have the personal info of everyone who took the bait.

Maybe, but I don’t think they gained anything from me.
Was anyone really expecting this to end differently?

Not really, but it was worth a shot. I didn’t lose any money or time, so no harm done.

The ‘why not’ is because now a scammer has your name and address.

Oh no, public information that’s already out there! It’s like covering your license plate in photos—completely pointless.

Not everyone lives in your country, buddy.

There’s a difference between public info and handing it to scammers. Now they can target you with mail scams or fake deliveries.

It’s really not public info in many places.

It’s not the same thing. This wasn’t a gamble because you couldn’t lose money. You either got the drone or nothing happened. No harm, no foul.
Why are so many people mad about those of us who risked $70 just to see what would happen? You weren’t affected, so why care?
Yep, mine got canceled too. Amazon won’t do anything about it.

Why would they? You were never getting a $70 drone, and they’re not obligated to provide one. The only outcome here was refunds, which everyone already knew.
@Leith
Never got charged. I hoped it might work, but I knew better.

Didn’t expect them to.

Not surprising at all.
I’ve gotten some crazy deals on Amazon and eBay, so I’d have risked it too. With Amazon, even if it’s a scam, you’ll get your money back.
