$7M lost on Amazon inventory, then bankrupt

I think they are complicit. I've left reviews on products about how the 5 star reviews are for a different product (people uploaded photos in their reviews, which aren't for the current listing's product) and Amazon itself removed my reviews.

Whether systemically or through incompetence, they definitely share responsibility for this fraud.

AMZN has no comprehension that the obvious fraud listings cause some people to think there must be other fraud listings too and make people less inclined to buy from AMZN.

Did you actually review the product? I think it makes some sense they removed it if you didn’t.

Also, what use is it to point that out with a review? Surely people who actually look at the reviews would notice anyway?

Yes, the products were horrible and I reviewed as such.

The reviews aren't ordered in a way that makes that obvious. You usually have to dig deep to find these. If you only look at the first page of reviews you are likely not going to see the photo reviews.

The photos from reviews are normally always listed just before the review listing begins though?

I'd have to agree. There are so many levels of fraud and other violations (deceptive business practices) going on at that place.

Any other legitimate business would be taken to task for a quarter of what they are doing. Maybe they know they can get away with it because they have a blanket liability shield from the AWS contracts?
