I'd really like them to establish a "counterfeit reviews" unit too.

Many years ago their review system was one of their businesses advantages. Many users and fairly honest reviews.

Now it's rife with fake and bought reviews, rendering it useless.

I recently took a look at the top 20 reviewers, and based on some personal knowledge of what the items that buy 5-star reviews are in the current market, at least 3 of the top 20 people are doing it. These are people with thousands of reviews. It's rotten all the way to the top.
