Judge Sets Dec. 6 Fact Discovery Deadline in Amazon Suit to Stop Impersonation Scam

Fact discovery is due to be complete by Dec. 6 in Amazon’s suit to stop defendant Elly Infotech from running an impersonation scam that dupes consumers into buying fake Amazon support services for activating Prime Video on their devices, said a case management order (docket 2:23-cv-02353) signed Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Dominic Lanza for Arizona in Phoenix. Expert depositions will be complete by March 5, said the order. Amazon’s suit against Elly Infotech was one of three it filed in a single day in which it alleged that the defendants and the call centers they work with are part of the “scam ecosystem” that enables the impersonation schemes (see 2311120001). Davis Wright represents Amazon in all three lawsuits. Elly Infotech denies impersonating Amazon to deceive consumers and alleges that another unknown company is using its name to perpetuate the scam (see 2403210043).
