I've got similar messages from the sellers on amazon.in. Leave a 5 star review and you will get a INR 50 or similar amount transferred to your bank account. I usually ignore these kind of messages. Oftentimes I had this urge to make a review with photo of that seller message and leave a warning to next potential customers that most of these reviews might be fake/paid

Amazon is complicit. When I've left I review about cards offering money for reviews packaged with an item I've ordered, Amazon has deleted my review.

When I've followed up, they told me it's actually against the rules to call sellers out for this behavior - your reviews can't mention "promotional materials", even if they came IN THE BOX of what you purchase.

Disgusting. Should be a case for the FTC (or equivalent agency in your country). Also, competitors should sue Amazon for such anti-competitive behavior.
