They create bogus accounts to order products so they can upload reviews from a "verified purchaser". They need real addresses to ship to, since Amazon would notice if there were 384 accounts with the same address.

![]() A year or two ago I got some pumpkin seeds or something similar that I didn't order. I complained to Amazon's customer service about it, saying that it seemed to be a scam that I heard about involving fake reviews. They said they didn't allow their reviews to be faked that way and wouldn't affect any of my accounts with them. (This was a while ago, so the details are hazy.) Nothing similar happened again. Now I see that they have a help page about it, so their story is a little different. Scammers are everywhere and seemingly are always are trying to game any system... Cheers, Scott. |
