Amazon Fake Reviews Scam Exposed in Data Breach

Ugh. Yet I’m totally influenced by Amazon reviews. I’ll choose one item over another based on the number of stars and how good the reviews are.

What can be done to stop it? Maybe ONLY confirmed purchasers can review at all could help?

> These Amazon vendors send to reviewers a list of items/products for which they would like a 5-star review. The people providing the ‘fake reviews’ will then buy the products, leaving a 5-star review on Amazon a few days after receiving their merchandise.

> Once the Amazon vendor confirms all reviews have been completed, the reviewer will receive a refund through PayPal, keeping the items they bought for free as a form of payment.

They are all confirmed...
