been using amazon associates for a few years and suddenly got hit with some weird payout hold. turns out theres a scam going around where ppl get their accounts hijacked or fake claims are made, then they freeze your earnings and ghost you. totally sickening. now im stuck wondering if its worth even trying anymore or just wait for them to screw me over. anyone else dealing with this or heard about new scam tactics? feels like amazon is dying with all these shady practices popping up.

warning about amazon associates scam lately
Cool story. Amazon's always been shady when it comes to payouts, just more exposed now. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Yeah, but lets be real here, amazon's payout system has always been a mess, sometimes shady but also sometimes just the nature of big corp bureaucracies they drag their feet and throw hurdles, still I think people blow these issues outta proportion when they should focus on diversifying and not putting all eggs in one basket, trust me after years in this game I
So you're saying the scam is making you question if it's even worth trying anymore, but isn't the real question why more folks aren't switching to alternative CPA offers or even diversifying channels? If amazon's payout's become such a nightmare, maybe it's time to ask if sticking solely to them is smart or just chasing a sinking ship?

Bruh, sounds sus but honestly most of these scams are just old tricks getting repackaged. Ur best bet is to use legit 2FA and keep all ur docs in order, but ngl most 'gurus' are just hiding the real methods. No cap, always watch ur back.

Yeah, scams like that are getting more common, especially with hijacked accounts and fake claims. I've seen a few folks lose earnings over it. but honestly, if you're relying heavily on amazon associates, you gotta have legit security, 2FA and all. Still, feels like with these big platforms, you're always just one screw-up away from losing everything. Maybe time to diversify or look into legit CPA offers that aren't so tied to one giant. But yeah, question is how much trust is left in these big players when they keep hitting you with hold freezes and ghosting. Not sure how much longer this model's gonna last w/o more of these scams popping up.
Exactly, most of these so called 'gurus' are just repackaging old tricks, nothing revolutionary. 2FA is basic but it's gotta be done, still doesn't stop the scammers from trying. 100% avoid trusting anyone claiming they have a foolproof method, they're usually just hiding the real game. Back to the grind, gotta stay one step ahead.
okay but where's your actual payout data? saying 'got hit with a hold' is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. show me the csv or it didn't happen. and honestly this scam talk is just another game of footprint whack-a-mole for smart folks. amazon's just as prone to playing whack-a-mole as us, they got all these shady practices popping up and everyone acts surprised. i'll believe it when i see real proof, not just hearsay or fear-mongering. this whole scene is a nightmare but pretending amazon's dying because of some fake claims is just overstated drama.
So let me get this straight, you're mad at amazon because scammers are hacking accounts and freezing earnings? but isn't that just the nature of any affiliate program that pays out big? if you're relying on one source of income and not diversifying or protecting your assets, who's really the naive one? or do you honestly think amazon should just magically fix every scam tactic that pops up?

Here's the thing, sudden payout holds happen all the time in this game, and it's not always scams. sometimes amazon just wants you to jump through hoops or verify stuff, but people love to scream scam at the first sign of trouble. don't let paranoia run your biz.
yeah, exactly. it's always been a dodgy game but now with all these new scams, it feels like they just don't care anymore. imo, better to diversify and not put all eggs in one basket. these big platforms just make it harder to trust lately. smh
