As an avid and frequent user of Amazon, I admit this caused my internal alarms to go off. It is our household's number one shopping spot for all things: clothing, food, digital content, etc. Now we hear that Amazon employees are offering internal data and other classified information for profit.
Brokers are offering internal sales metrics and reviewers' email addresses, as well as a service to delete negative reviews and restore banned Amazon accounts in exchange for payments ranging from about $80 to more than $2,000.
