Among other improper advertising techniques, the marketing companies were suggesting for Amazon sellers to create fake product reviews. The defending companies are unaffiliated with Amazon, the electronic commerce company, who suspends users that violate its terms of service in order to maintain a high-quality site.

The scam product that consumers purchased in order to create an online livelihood for themselves costed a minimum of $995, with the end result being an account shut down by Amazon whose strict policies pick up on bad practices quickly. Luckily, sellers can retrieve their shop by submitting an appeal.

If a consumer is seeing red flags in a product that seems too good to be true, it’s probably because it is. According to Scam Watch, many companies producing bad products use personal development schemes to profit off of individuals looking for a new income. Common places to find these scams are in employment sections in newspapers, social networking sites, and community magazines.
