Anyway I still get the emails begging me to review free stuff. Now they offer to repay me for the purcahse price via PayPal, which is VERY against Amazon's terms of service.
Here's the cut and pasted email I got on Sept 25th about this exact same trail camera your friend here reviewed...
https://www.amazon.com/Enkeeo-Wildli...ct_top?ie=UTF8
Are you interested in 90% discount trail CAMERA?
Could you help record a video on Amazon and social app?
And I will refund you 90% by paypal after you review it with video.
If you are interested in it,please give me your profile.
And i will tell you how to process.
For the record, Amazon DOES NOT CARE that this is going on.
I've sent Amazon notice that their platform is discredited with thsi crap with specific examples of sellers ignoring the terms of service. This is the latest response I got from the Amazon Executive Team. I bolded the important part where Amazon politely says "We're pushed this outside of what we choose to look at so we can claim plausible deniability now, so get lost"
