Hello... We see recently that few brands on amazon are making it super hard to distinguish good from bad.. They bribe 50 rupees / 100 rupees for the reviews.. while it sounds great initially it really does affect the true perception of the product as we believe that as a customer we make choice based on reviews and those reviews are rigged.... This could be possibly because Amazon is behind this scam..
Recently i found that a Brand "SOUNCE" literally uses the same dirty trick on every single product line of theirs.. And i got duped 3 times... I spent some time and below is what i found that we can do to help voice our view..
To just see how deep this scam is: Just go to this brand that is operated possibly by Amazon itself directly.. Just search for the word "cashback" on any of the products reviews under the brand and you will see that the same stuff exists..
Example:- https://www.amazon.in/stores/page/170D9158-2C2E...
See a sample below: -> https://www.amazon.in/product-reviews/B088BGY43C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_srt?filterByKeyword=cashback&sortBy=recent
Here is what you could do to turn 1 stone at a time...
Go to the link: https://account-status.amazon.in/report-review-compensation and share a link of the product review and request them to investigate..
I donno if amazon will give an eye to this issue but i think we should voice that we know about the scam! 
You could follow the same for any product that you got duped into buying also and you find the Bribery.. !
If you Found this useful:- Pick a product and Do notify amazon for this brand or a brand that duped you into the bribery scam!!
Lets see if the power of numbers helps reduce the scam..
- Sort By
Never trust reviews.
It's simple.
Buy according to need and if possible buy offline
Buy from trusted brands.
Upload a review every time you receive these cards. Take the money & then delete the review.
Then upload an honest review of how the brand is getting fake reviews,
Trusted brand: Hard to define that.. This example: SOUNCE - is a number 1 on each of the category and you would call them trusted until i found this huge scam.,
Uploding a photo on the review: Clearly here.. Uploading the photo of this scam does not yield any result.. This Amazon own primary brand has been scamming folks.
To take money and leave a actual review- The issue is that - This is the power of volume.. You might do that but a lot of good souls will end up being honest to these dishonest scammers!! Its no different than the Voting bribery and it always hurts us in the long run..
My Ask.. Lets see the power of volume.. If they have a power of volume so do we...
1. Take any product of this brand (Literally any product).. and search cashback..
2. Go to Amazon link i shared earlier - Post that and ask Amazon to investigate.
(Or you could do this for any other brand that you may have been scammed )
My guess is if a number of us do this and if they still ignore clearly they are behind this massive scam.. If Amazon is behind this massive scam - What else are we getting scammed by them!
If we see them take any action - Atleast we know that Victims have a voice... And may be ... The reviews will reflect the actual quality and i hate to get scammed!
Check the YouTube comments if the product has review/unboxing video, these comments are accurate 
The appropriate approach when offering a cashback would be to request feedback rather than shamelessly asking for a 5-star rating.
Even Amazon deletes some 1star reviews
On most websites, many brands are doing the same these days!
No more reliable reviews these days.
