Amazon Drivers Are Hanging Smartphones in Trees to Get More Work

I've seen review groups where people order a product, they leave a five star review and then get the money reimbursed. Certified fake reviews. For flipkart and Amazon both.

Incentivized reviews on Amazon India | Discuss Online Shopping

A lot of substandard products with very high rating and reviews are everywhere.

The FT found evidence the users were profiting from posting thousands of five-star ratings.

Those who had their reviews deleted included Justin Fryer, the number one-ranked reviewer on Amazon.co.uk, who in August alone reviewed £15,000 worth of products, from smartphones to electric scooters to gym equipment, giving his five-star approval on average once every four hours.

Overwhelmingly, those products were from little-known Chinese brands, who often offer to send reviewers products for free in return for positive posts. Mr Fryer then appears to have sold many of the goods on eBay, making nearly £20,000 since June.
