Amazon is taking legal action against more than 1,000 people it says have posted fake reviews on its website.

亚马逊将对超过1000个据称在其网站上发布虚假评论的人采取法律行动。

The US online retail¹ giant has filed a lawsuit² in Seattle, Washington.

It says its brand reputation is being damaged by "false, misleading and inauthentic" reviews paid for by sellers seeking to improve the appeal of their products.

It comes after Amazon sued a number of websites in April for selling fake reviews.

Amazon says the 1,114 defendants³, termed "John Does" as the company does not yet know their real names, offer a false review service for as little as $5 (£3.24) on the website Fiverr.com, with most promising⁴ five-star reviews for a seller's products.

"While small in number, these reviews can significantly undermine the trust that consumers and the vast majority of sellers and manufacturers place in Amazon, which in turn tarnishes⁵ Amazon's brand," the technology giant said in its complaint, which was filed on Friday.

Amazon said it had conducted an investigation⁶, which included purchasing fake customer reviews on Fiverr from people who promised five-star ratings and offered to allow purchasers to write reviews.
