Amazon sues fake reviewers

[CPA]

search on google how amazon greedy company f*ck they workers for $10/hr .... only mcdonalds maybe worse.

wah, wah, wah, the ol' "poor workers, greedy corporation" argument. Hey, here's a clue, no one has a gun to these employees' heads.

Anything that will make someone think twice about trying this con is a good thing, sure it wont completely stop it, but i think it can at least put a dent in the problem.

I would almost rather that instead of removing paid reviews, Amazon painted those reviews with a scarlet letter so people can see that the company was paying people to give them positive reviews. That would be a huge red flag for me to do business - if they have to pay to get 5 stars, there's something wrong with them.

I agree. Use a giant red flag with a pop-up like: "Warning!! This company uses shills on Amazon and therefore you should not trust any positive review they get on any other site as it's probably dishonest there too."
