We have not confirmed whether AmazonBuyForMe follows robots.txt. Add a rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.

AmazonBuyForMe is a bot in the other bots category, operated by Amazon. Buy For Me agent places orders on e-commerce websites at the direction of customers.
We have not confirmed whether AmazonBuyForMe follows robots.txt. Add a robots.txt rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped, and block it by user agent if it did not.
Add "User-agent: AmazonBuyForMe" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "AmazonBuyForMe" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so AmazonBuyForMe may not follow it, and anyone can send AmazonBuyForMe's user agent, so a fake AmazonBuyForMe ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
