This sounds extraordinarily poorly handled by the RCMP. He could show that he purchased it from his own credit card and on Amazon, so that's pretty good evidence that he's the victim of fraud, not the perpetrator of it. Weird how extremely aggressive the RCMP is.
That this is allowed to exist in legal limbo is ridiculous. He should be able to demand rectification and damages. And the real problem here is of course Amazon for enabling such scams. They should be on the hook for this, not some unsuspecting customer. And the real fraudster should be easy to track down through Amazon if they've done their due diligence.
