Amazon is taking legal action against the admins of over 10,000 Facebook groups that it says facilitate fake reviews for products on its platform by promising money or free products in exchange for positive reviews. The groups are allegedly responsible for fake reviews across Amazon\u2019s sites in the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan, the company has announced<\/a>. Just one such group, called \u201cAmazon Product Review,\u201d reportedly had over 43,000 members.<\/p>\n

The e-commerce giant has a well-documented problem with fake reviews, which has grown more pressing as third-party marketplace sellers make up a bigger and bigger proportion of sales on its platform. It officially banned incentivized reviews in October 2016<\/a>, but four years later in 2020, a Financial Times <\/em>investigation<\/a> found that as many as nine out of the top ten reviewers on its platform in the UK were engaged in suspicious activity. A Verge<\/em> investigation<\/a> shed light on some of the tactics used across the network of Facebook groups aimed at facilitating fake reviews.<\/p>\n
