Amazon.com is not a scam if you are a buyer. Their business record is good if you buy from them. However, never sell on amazon.com. Their practice of holding sellers' money for up to 90 days (probably to invest) has landed them in a class-action lawsuit, which is viewable here -

Amazon.com is a legitimate company.

However, do not become an amazon.com seller. A quick Google search will tell you that they hold money for up to 120 days for no apparent reason (other than to invest it probably). So, although they are a legitimate business, they do have legitimate scam concerns for sellers. There is also a class action lawsuit against them for their current practices viewable here -

Like any online store, there are good and bad deals. You need to research the price of what you are buying to make sure that it's fair. In general, I think that their prices are very reasonable. I live in a small town and appreciate being able to buy stuff online and have it arrive on my doorstep 2 days later. I've purchase everything on Amazon from books to Luna Bars to art supplies to twin sized mattresses.

Amazon do not offer an escrow service. The whole thing is a scam. There is no car, the advert on CraigsList is fake, designed just to get you to use his fake escrow service website and steal your money. Here are some examples of the fake escrow websites.
