Retail giant claims 'bad actors' on Facebook are recruiting people to post phony reviews about products sold on Amazon.
it is suing the administrators of more than 10,000 Facebook groups that incentivize people to write fraudulent reviews about products sold on its stores in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan.
The lawsuits are aimed at identifying"bad actors" and removing the fake reviews from Amazon's websites, the e-commerce giant said. The company noted that these groups have solicited fraudulent reviews for hundreds of products sold through its services, including car stereos and camera tripods. One group, called Amazon Product Review, had more than 43,000 members until Facebook parent Meta shut it down earlier this year.
"Our teams stop millions of suspicious reviews before they're ever seen by customers, and this lawsuit goes a step further to uncover perpetrators operating on social media," Dharmesh Mehta, Amazon's vice president of Selling Partner Services, said in a statement. Amazon said it has more than 12,000 employees who work on fraud and abuse issues, including fake reviews, and that it has reported more than 10,000 fake review groups to Meta.
Meta has shut down about half the groups reported by Amazon, while it is investigating others, Amazon said on Tuesday.
