I think ive been scammed on amazon. What do i do?

Options
Sorry if another post appears ive asked for it to be moved, however, i need this to be sorted asap!

I used some codes in the freebie section of the forum, some of those post have now been taken down, and people have been saying how its possibly a scam.

Silly me thinking Its amazon! It will be fine!

So ive tried to cancel my orders, however, 2 of them wont cancel saying i have to contact the seller, which I have.

Im worried about what will happen, is there anything I can do to protect myself?

    Why are you panicking?


    You have already had over £100 worth of free stuff from Amazon according to your other thread that you started?

    If Amazon has accepted a code and sent out the goods, then thats fine.

    Sorry, I meant to reassure you that the Amazon A-Z guarantee should cover most eventualities.

    OP, perhaps, it would help others, if you explained what scamming (possibly) was involved .
