What is Amazon's anti-counterfeiting team? Amazon's anti-counterfeiting team review

Team Composition

This global, cross-functional team is composed of former U.S. federal prosecutors, senior investigators, and data analysts. According to Jiemian News, Cristina Posa, a former federal prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice, is the team leader. In her previous job, she specialized in cybercrime and organized crime cases in New York.

Workflow

Amazon's global anti-counterfeiting team will investigate cases where counterfeiters attempt to circumvent Amazon's processes and system monitoring, and violate Amazon's market rules by listing counterfeit goods. By mining Amazon's market-related data, working with third parties such as payment service providers or collecting information through other public sources, and using local resources, Amazon's global anti-counterfeiting team will collect case clues and locate counterfeiters.

Target

Amazon said that the establishment of this global anti-counterfeiting team will more effectively help Amazon file civil lawsuits against bad actors, provide support for joint or independent investigations by brands, and assist law enforcement officers in combating counterfeiting around the world.
