The letter

Amazon is warning you about your returns.

The email is short, cold, and unsigned except for two words: "Account Specialist." It says your refunds "exceed the expectation" and violate the Conditions of Use. It does not say what the expectation is — because Amazon has never published a return rate that is safe, and it refused, in writing, to tell a buyer who asked. Here is what the letter is, line by line in the decoder page, and what to do with it.

The letter, as buyers receive it

The warning letters arrive from ofm@amazon.com. Their core sentences, published verbatim by a recipient in April 2025:

"You claimed refunds for returns and the number of refunds in your account exceed the expectation and is in violation of our Conditions of Use. … If you believe that there has been an error, reply to this email to reach an Account Specialist. Our Customer Service team cannot reverse this decision or share more details on this matter."

The recipient audited his own account afterward: 31 returns out of 281 orders — 11% — every reason accurate, more than $5,000 a year spent, a paying Prime member. Amazon would not state the line he crossed. The full line-by-line decode is on the decoder page.

What the warning actually is

How to answer (the shape — the full playbook is the kit)

  1. Do your math first. Orders, returns, the reason for each, for two years. Baker could compute 31/281; you should be able to compute yours before you write a word.
  2. Reply to the letter — factual, numbered, short: your counts, your reasons, any specific letter claims that are wrong (someone else's return, a record Amazon already reversed), and what changes from here.
  3. Then run the 90-day reset: treat every return as a decision — accurate reasons, items in original condition, receipts kept for every drop-off. The pattern after the letter is evidence too.

What never to do: argue in chat fragments, threaten, apologize in essays — or open a new account. A new account linked to a warned one inherits the worst version of the story.
