Scamming a scammer may Feel Like Justice, but it is still fraud. That is my point. I'm sorry if it's not possible for you to see two bad guys in one transaction.

In point of fact, of course, neither side is a "scam" here and you know it. Amazon had an automated system that got exploited, the only human being deliberately trying to cheat was their supplier. And the above poster was just idly trying to probe the exploit and not get a free SSD. But all the same, demanding a refund (of a product that you knew was going to be fraudulent!) is a little sketchy.
