If there is a way to cut conners and cheat humans will find a way to do it.  It works for a while but like anything in life if you try to trick or maliciously beat the system you will get away with it for a while but they will catch up.

It seems that the time is now. As Amazon grows so do all of the businesses and leaches around it. Some businesses provide quality service that focuses on doing the small things right over time, but that takes to long for some people they need it, NO they are ENTITLED to it NOW.  Come in the snake oil salesman, who can help you make millions in weeks... Sure everyone gets lucky every now and then but most just end up out of capital and worst off then they started.

Here are a few great articles that go into how Amazon has been removing reviews by targeting top reviewing IP addresses, IP addresses linked with the seller account, IP addresses of family member, IP addresses of known Review Farmers, / Paid Review agencies.

Be careful and do your research when working with companies to help you grow in ANY area of your business but right now especially on Amazon.  You do not want to be associated or flagged or be removed from being able to sell on the largest eCommerce platform in the world for a few thousand dollars do you?
