A bribe to remove a negative Amazon review
I recently purchased a piece of IT equipment from a seller on Amazon. I was unhappy with it and consequently left a two star review for the item on Amazon a few days later. My complaint was not due to a malfunction but because the item was described as "silent" but its normal operation is clearly anything but silent. I did…
