Accused Amazon Impersonator Denies All Allegations of Wrongdoing

Elly Infotech denies impersonating Amazon to deceive customers, said its answer Wednesday (docket 2:23-cv-02353) in U.S. District Court for Arizona in Phoenix to Amazon’s Nov. 9 complaint (see 2311120001). Amazon alleges Elly duped consumers into buying fake support services for activating Prime Video on their devices. But Amazon’s alleged damages, “if sustained at all, were proximately caused and aggravated by the negligence, fraud, or intentional conduct of other parties or third parties,” said Elly’s answer. Amazon’s recovery, if any, “should be reduced in proportion to the negligence or fault of the other parties or third parties,” it said. Elly denies any allegations of wrongdoing “and further alleges that another unknown party is using its company name and is responsible for the purported causes of action” set forth in the complaint, it said.
