1My guess would be they are planning to do something fraudulent, and want to know if a VPN would help them get away with it.– Alexander O'MaraCommented Apr 2, 2020 at 22:17

No. Nothing offers 100% security and a VPN is no exception. For example a VPN will not magically protect you if you connect to a malicious site serving malware. A properly configured VPN will hide your public IP address though from the party you connect to, but won't prevent the site from identifying you for example by using browser fingerprinting techniques or by tracking you over multiple visits. And a VPN can actually make Amazon or others suspicious: the use of a VPN can often be detected by the server you connect to and some might consider using a VPN suspicious.
