I welcome all of the witnesses. I am aware that there are many methods by which fraud can be perpetrated, not just on the witnesses' platforms but elsewhere. However, I want to focus on scams being co-ordinated by advertisers or sellers on those platforms. I will start with Mr. Brophy with respect to Amazon. It obviously has its own products but attracts a lot of sellers onto its platform. What steps or methods does Amazon have to vet anyone who wishes to sell goods through Amazon, to ensure they are legitimate.
