Amazon venture fund backs startup developing fix for return fraud
-
最新报道：Amazon has invested in Cambridge Terahertz, a UK-based startup developing 3D imaging technology to combat return fraud in e-commerce. The system uses terahertz waves to create detailed product scans, detecting signs of wear or tampering that customers might conceal when returning items. This marks Amazon's latest move to reduce its $18 billion annual losses from fraudulent returns. Cambridge Terahertz CEO Dr. Sarah Chen noted the technology can distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent returns with 95% accuracy. The funding round, whose amount remains undisclosed, will accelerate commercialization of the scanning systems for rollout in Amazon fulfillment centers by late 2026. Retail analysts predict the technology could cut return fraud by 30% across the industry.
