I recently purchased the Advanced Scar Gel and when opening the packaging I was offered $30 if I would give this product a 5 star rating on Amazon. Easy bucks! This is pure bribery by the seller and ruins the Amazon review standards. I gladly leave a positive review where it is due but I am totally appalled by such unethical marketing techniques. Amazon's Policy clearly states:It is illegal to receive payment or any other compensation for writing Amazon product reviews, as Amazon's policies strictly prohibit it. Amazon takes a zero-tolerance approach to incentivized reviews, and violating this policy can lead to account suspension and permanent banishment from the platform. So, I wrote a review (listed here in first paragraph) on Amazon platform about this practice as to warn Amazon and other shoppers. I received following reply:Hello Stefaan ,We couldn't post your review because it doesn't meet our guidelinesThere you have it. I am wondering how many 5 stars ratings are bought or are totally fake? Furthermore, Amazon is obviously reluctant to do anything about this scam. As long as their revenu keeps coming...
