Amazon Sues Individuals Offering Fake Product Reviews

In April of this year, Amazon.com filed suit against the operators of websites that offered Amazon sellers the ability to purchase fake, four- and five-star reviews of their products. Most of those websites have now been closed, and Amazon took action against the sellers involved. Now Amazon is continuing its crackdown on fake reviews by going after individuals who provide these sort of fake reviews — this time, those who used the online freelancing marketplace fiverr.com.
