Aliexpress vendors are trying to bribe customers - and it's now happening on Amazon too!

Over the past year or so on Aliexpress, I've begun receiving a steady stream of bribe offers alongside my orders. Typically these are printed on business cards that are slipped into the package envelopes. I posted about this on Reddit a couple of days ago (/r/aliexpress) to see if any other customers had experienced the same thing. According to some online sources, the practice is spreading and Amazon is aware of the problem and has even acted to kick some major vendors off the marketplace.

Personally, I noticed an enormous upsurge in the number of low quality Aliexpress type products being sold through Amazon during a recent trip to the US. Given the fact that these products often contained unbelievably glowing reviews, I wonder has the damaging legacy of these bribe offers - that encourage good reviews and suppress bad ones - already affected honest sellers.
