How to write a fake reviews and get away with it.
Hey, do you want to write a fake review on your competitor's listing and get around Amazon's editorial moderation?
My listing was a victim of this technique and I do not want any person reading this post to do this. I am not promoting this technique, I'm just bringing attention on how a competitor successfully did it to me and got away with it.
The way they did it was to create a new Amazon account and made sure the account name has information which can be against Amazon's policies, specifically in this case regarding shipping. As long as the malicious content and violation is in the user name, it appears that Amazon will let you get away with it. Here is a link to the review and also see image for example:

@glenn_amazon is this technique against Amazon's terms of service?
basically the technique is creating a new account, using the username area to leave negative feedback, then making the title ok and review ok.

Hi @Seller_s4euM2Tc5FKjC
Have you submitted an abuse report? If not, it would be helpful if you were willing to take that as a next step.
Thank you for coming to the forums to start a discussion.
Best regards,
