Warning about Fiverr reviews

[ou8myi]

I'm a dummy. I created a Kindle book and ordered an Amazon review from someone on Fiverr.
But I didn't ask for a sample of their prior work. Doh!
Now my cool book has a review that sounds like a junior high kid from timbuktu wrote it. Looks bad and I can't remove it.

Moral: Ask for a sample of a reviewer's work first!

better to write the review yourself and just get them to post it

Kindle Review are very tricky business. Amazing has a no tolerance policy towards any review scams. Be careful !

not sure if it's really a bad thing, at least it sounds like an honest review, but what's stopping you to order more (not from the same provider obviously)? in fact when you start to receive real reviews, you won't be able to control those either
