Defendant Denies Participation in Amazon Prime Video ‘Impersonation’ Scam

Elly Infotech denies impersonating Amazon to deceive customers, and further denies any allegations of wrongdoing, said its answer Thursday (docket 2:23-cv-02353) in U.S. District Court for Arizona in Phoenix to Amazon’s Nov. 9 complaint (see 2311120001). The lawsuit against Elly Infotech was one of three Amazon filed in a single day to halt separate sets of alleged fraudsters from running the “impersonation” scams that dupe consumers into buying fake support services for activating Prime Video on their devices. Elly Infotech alleges an unknown third party appears to have used its name without permission or knowledge, said its answer. It was surprised to be included in this lawsuit, “as it is an Arizona limited liability company that is defunct, no longer in use, and has no money or assets,” it said.
