I receive at least one email per day to the address displayed on my Amazon profile for products to review, with a promise of full reimbursement via Paypal after proof of 5-star review.
It would be extremely easy for Amazon to go after those sellers. The reason they don't do it is because reviews move products.
Amazon's business is moving products -- not pleasing customers, or providing the world with honest reviews, or being a force of good, etc.
That said, it's probably normal that cperciva's review was denied, as reviews should describe the product and only the product, not the virtue of the seller or the validity of other reviews:
> I figured I should leave a product review mentioning this and warning other customers to not trust the 5 reviews of this product*
Not the place. Product reviews are not about a specific seller; a product can be sold by many sellers; the fact that one or even many sellers are bad doesn't mean the product itself is bad.
(And that's true even if the product is sold only by the manufacturer. In theory it's always possible that other sellers will come along, if only to sell used versions of the same product.)
