Multiple follows ups are already being done but Amazon is not providing me any resolution.

Dear Amazon Grievance/ Leadership Team,

I am writing to formally escalate a serious issue that, despite multiple complaints, has not been handled appropriately by Amazon’s customer care team.

I purchased a phone from Amazon in June 2025, under the clear understanding and representation that it was a brand‑new device. Recently, when the touchscreen stopped working, I visited the authorized service center. To my shock, I was informed that:

  • The phone is not new, but a used device
  • It was first sold in July 2024
  • The warranty has already expired
This clearly establishes that Amazon fraudulently sold a used phone while charging me for a new one, which is a serious breach of customer trust and applicable consumer protection laws.

Following this discovery, I raised multiple complaints with Amazon customer care. Unfortunately, the responses I received were not only impractical but also legally questionable. Amazon representatives insist that:

  • I must wait 8 days as part of an internal grievance timeline
  • My phone will then be picked up along with all personal data inside it
  • I should return the phone despite the fact that the touchscreen is completely unresponsive, making it impossible for me to back up or delete my data
This expectation is unreasonable. I currently cannot use the phone at all, and the service center is demanding ₹40,000 for repairs, solely because the device is out of warranty due to Amazon’s misrepresentation.

Given the seriousness of this issue, I no longer have confidence in the handling by frontline customer support. I require a clear and final resolution within 24 hours, and I expect this matter to be addressed by senior management.

For transparency, below are the names of customer care representatives who suggested these unworkable “solutions”:

  • Aswin
  • Vikas
  • Shivani
  • Katrina
  • Three additional junior team members
I expect Amazon to take full responsibility for this issue and provide an immediate, lawful, and customer‑centric resolution without placing my personal data at risk.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Regards
