This sounds like attempted fraud to me, I am glad you took the time to write us to check. The W3C validator is a checker for website quality, not a device that a retailler such as Amazon would ask any customer to use. I think we already heard from other careful users like you of such a scam although I do not comprehend what the scammers are actually after, even after reading one of such reported issues here: https://github.com/validator/validator/issues/842 For my curiosity, could you say what the person you talked to was attempting to get out of you and the actions they had you try?
