Amazon sellers harass users for leaving negative comments
On Amazon, the comments left by users are an essential factor in the purchase decision. In addition, while some don’t hesitate to write fake reviews about their products to entice customers, others offer direct refunds to disgruntled shoppers to appear in search results. This is the case of Katherin Scott, who was contacted by email by an after-sales service vendor, offering to refund her in full, as long as she deletes her comment. The email ends on a scary note. “If we don’t receive a response, we’ll assume you didn’t see our message and therefore we’ll continue sending emails”. After several emails from the seller, Katherine Scott ended up calling Amazon for help. She was then informed that the matter would be investigated, but that she would have no news about it. Conscientious users may be discouraged from leaving their opinion about a product. However, there are ways to protect yourself that we describe in our news.
