Dropshipping itself looks totally legitimate, and there's market value of selling things for a small markup. The scammers in this case are doing a 500% markup.

That discrepancy should be addressed by the original company. If people are willing to pay 500% more they've been leaving money on the table and should increase prices until the dropshippers are again only capturing the value that they're adding.
They're getting 500% markups by scamming influencers into joining fake affiliate programs.
