The fake Amazon review economy is a thriving market, ripe with underground forums, "How To Game The Rankings!" tutorials, and websites with names like (now-defunct) "amazonverifiedreviews.com."
But the favored hunting grounds for sellers on the prowl is Amazon's fellow tech behemoth, Facebook.
In a recent two-week period, I identified more than 150 private Facebook groups where sellers openly exchange free products (and, in many cases, commissions) for 5-star reviews, sans disclosures.
A sampling of 20 groups I analyzed [which I've posted publicly here] collectively have more than 200,000 members. These groups seem to be in the midst of an online Gold Rush: Most are less than a year old, and in the past 30 days have attracted more than 50,000 new users.
Honesty and "no scamming" are touted as group rules — but a look under the hood reveals a potpourri of foul play.

Shut down facebook, the place where honesty is punished and all kinds of illegal and immoral things are glorified.
It is a place to drain your brain and fill it with emptiness. When has anyone's life gotten better after using that thing called facebook? Can no other website allow communication among people? The purpose of the facebook website is to divide and rule, collect data from victims and use it against them. They systematically divide people into groups and subgroups and watch them for any activity that might go against khazar jewish interests.
