Anti Snoring Devise Scam Reviews
I come across this product as an alternative to the Cpac. It shows 4,853 reviews with a 4.8 star rating, wow what a product!! Until you click on the reviews and find they have nothing to do with the product at all. But instead are reviewing peppers. Is this some type of ploy hoping you'll buy the product based on the reviews without actually reading them? Ads like this reek of scam and should be removed.

These are usually blackhat tactics, they have either hijacked and stolen the reviews or are repurposing an old listing.
What is the ASIN number?

Hi @Valley_Pro_Products:
Tiff here from Amazon. Thanks for letting us know about the listing. Can you tell me if you've taken any action already, like clicking the Report button on any of the reviews?
Update: I also wanted to let you know that I've shared this listing internally with our team to investigate further.

Both are stealing reviews from ASIN B00E3J97TE - Organic Orange Bell Pepper (wholefoods)

Due to FBA, the negative feedback has a strikethrough so the seller ratings remain positive.

It would kill some people if they had to make an honest living!!

Tiff should be able to get the reviews removed, but really it should be the seller. Talk about a bad customer experience!!
Selling awful products that don't work and still have a 96% seller rating. When I see blackhat tactics like this it makes my blood boil, not only tricking customers but they are hurting other sellers by stealing reviews and placing themselves at the top of a search, and getting undeserved sales. 😡

Acknowledging here that I've reported your concerns to the appropriate teams. Thank you!
Seller_aV1Bh32hE0KND
I do a lot of shopping on Amazon and base most of my purchases on reviews, so it's upsetting when I see a great-rated product and the reviews are for a different product.
I really appreciate you taking the time to report this to the appropriate team.
Thanks, Tiff!! ♡
Tiff_Amazon
Same here - many of my shopping needs are met on Amazon and reviews can help with informed decisions. We want to inspire customer (and seller) trust in the products displayed online, so thanks again! 😊

All negative feedback has a strikethrough so the seller ratings remain 100% positive but this seller definitely hurts the buyer experience. and also hurt other sellers Who spend their time and energy to building the listing.

I'm starting to think the practice of stealing reviews is rampant. Don't send that rocket into outer space Jeff. Please get this fixed instead. It FLIES in the face of the those of us who want to make an honest living.

Hello @Seller_OZLbFbESxvGGQ - It looks like you were already working with @Danika_Amazon on the topic that you posted last week (This seller have magic? He can turn negative reviews about the product into "This item was fulfilled by Amazon, and we take responsibility for this fulfillment experience.").
Seller_aV1Bh32hE0KND
It's amazing to me that nothing has been done on any of these listings that are blatantly showing stolen reviews that have nothing to do with the products being sold.
Especially since Amazon recently released this statement ↓ ↓ ↓

I would think Amazon would be all over this seeing how concerned and diligent they are supposed to be with regard to "authentic and trustworthy reviews"

Statements do not carry weight unless acted upon.
