If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

I think I'll send a note to Amazon. It's ridiculous that they provide a platform for obvious scammers.

Quick story about reporting scammers to Amazon.....

A few months ago my wife bought a $160 diaper bag for our soon to be daughter. We paid, received it, and used it as normal. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago. I get a text that my refund had been approved and issued to an Amazon gift card. (The bag was sold by Amazon) I thought something was fishy so I did a little research only to find out that someone hacked my account, somehow got a refund for the bag that we bought and received and had it applied to a gift card, turned right around and bought a tablet and memory card with that gift card and had it shipped to some address in Texas. I called Amazon fraud and filed a complaint. I was told by the man on the phone they would contact me within 24 hours. It's now been 2 weeks and I never heard anything from anyone. Technically I'm not out anything but someone in Texas got a tablet and memory card by getting a fraudelent refund from Amazon. I'm sure they have bigger fish to fry but I am sure the small ones add up over time as well.
