Amazon had this guy’s house locked as well as everything else shut down. When he got back, he couldn’t even get in his house! And it took him a week to get it straightened out!

In the end they discovered that it was Alexa talking and said something that sounded like a slur.
ROLOF, I think you misstated what happened as he was locked out of his account not his home? Great article and I would have called one of the advertising lawyers to see if I had a case against Amazon for them doing that.
