Beware Counterfeits When Purchasing Windows 10 From Amazon

Cheap Windows 10 keys aren’t just found on sketchy key-reselling websites. In fact, they’re often the top result when you shop for Windows 10 or Windows 7 keys on Amazon.com, so watch out!

This is because Amazon.com isn’t just a store. It’s a marketplace. Anyone can list products on Amazon.com and you’re often buying straight from a specific seller—just like eBay.

For example, when searching for “Windows 10 product key” on Amazon.com at the moment, the top result is a Sponsored listing promoting a $13.59 Windows 10 key by “Gustavo Calil.” In other words, someone has paid for an advertisement to push their fraudulently obtained keys on Amazon. This is just as sketchy as those key-reselling websites.
