- 9 years ago
Amazon is stepping up its game against fake reviewers by filing a lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, Amazon is suing individuals who write reviews on Fiverr.com, which is a site that offers reviews for as little as $5.
"While small in number, these reviews can significantly undermine the trust that consumers and the vast majority of sellers and manufacturers place in Amazon, which in turn tarnishes Amazon's brand," Amazon said in its complaint .
"We continue to use a number of mechanisms to detect and remove the small fraction of reviews that violate our guidelines," Julie Law, a spokeswoman for Amazon told Bloomberg .
"We have worked closely together to remove services that violate our terms of use, and respond promptly to any reports of inappropriate content," said Channing Barringer, a spokesman for Fiverr, told Bloomberg .
