An individual who specialises in doing this will have (and advertise the fact) fifty different Amazon accounts and boilerplate review scripts. It is commonplace on Freelancer for people to hire other people to do this. It is about time Amazon did something about it - their review system is a joke.
Perhaps they are doing something about it, and that is what is happening now?
