Download: Amazon suing websites over fake product reviews

April 9, 2015 by adminficci News 0 comments

When you’re shopping, how much do you rely on online reviews?

The Seattle Times reports that Amazon is suing three websites for posting fake product reviews.

The lawsuit alleges these companies are paid to act as a middle man for Amazon sellers, sometimes blasting competitors with false or misleading user reviews and charging more than $20 per post.  Positive reviews are thought to boost sales, but fake reviews have long-undermined the system, making it hard to distinguish between real ones and frauds.
