Amazon, Google sue over ‘fake review website’

Quick Summary:

The dual complaints in federal court target sellers of fake reviews for retailers and local businesses that market on the web giants.

Amazon said in a blog post Monday that it took legal action against “more than 150 bad actors” last year who attempted to “engage in reviews abuse” in the U.S., China and Europe.

The fake product reviews cost $60 for one review to $2,680 for 50 reviews, according to Amazon’s complaint.
