I left a bad review for one of these company's products on Amazon a while back because it caught fire when plugged in.

Somehow they got my email address and keep sending me vaguely threatening untraceable emails to "reconsider" my review in exchange for gift cards.

Super shady. Glad Amazon is finally doing something

After one less than positive review, I found that Amazon gave them my home address. I stopped posting reviews after that.
