The administrators of over 10,000 Facebook groups are accused of being part of a network that recruits people to leave fake reviews for products on Amazon in exchange for money or free products.
Amazon is the place where you can get almost any product you want. Amazon's trusted review system is an honest way to look at the quality of products. The administrators of over 10,000 Facebook groups have been sued by Amazon. According to reports, these groups are part of a coordinated effort to recruit individuals to leave fake reviews for different products on Amazon stores in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan.
"Our teams stop millions of suspicious reviews before they're ever seen by customers, and this lawsuit goes a step further to uncover perpetrators operating on social media." Mehta is in charge of selling partner services.
The group with 43,000 members was taken down by Meta, according to Amazon. The administrators of the group were able to obfuscate their activity from Facebook's filters by omitting certain letters from problematic words. The company told Gizmodo in an email that the reward scheme is set up by the administrators of the groups or third-party websites, and that users who post fake reviews would receive money or products in return.
Amazon squashes organized movements very well. In April, it was reported that the company was considering spending $20,000 per week on consultants to encourage workers to abandon unionization efforts.
