Many Amazon "customer" reviews are written by the author(s) under an assumed

Notice that the first three reviews were posted within one day of each
other; they're written with multiple screamers (three or four exclamation
points in a row); and there are no other reviews on Amazon by those
individuals. Those are giveaways.


I clicked on more than half of the "See all my reviews" to see the reviewers other
reviews. Author seems to have a lot of people that have reviewed only one book.

I don't know where the author lives but it seem that we can smell it in New Jersey and in
Michigan.

Why am I not shocked that a get rich book is a scam?

My guess is that the author gives a free seminar or something like
that, for a positive review. In other words, the reviews are not
genuinely written as a unsolicited expression of opinion, but they are
written by real people (who are rather stupid to begin with), and not
by one person with many accounts registered.
