Amazon product tester scam

Fake product tester websites have been shared a lot recently on social media, including on Facebook and TikTok. We found several TikTok videos with titles such as “Life hacks for poor people” and “What are some company secrets you can share now that you don’t work there,” which compile Reddit comments into entertaining videos.

However, several of these videos have featured Reddit comments promoting bogus websites claiming to offer Amazon tester jobs. Below is an example:

“Former Amazon employee here – not many people know this, but Amazon has a program you can apply for where you get $1,500 sent to your Amazon account every month so that you can test and review their products. EDIT: Not sure if applications are open right now, but you can check at <URL>”

Is Amazon product tester/Amazon product reviewer job legit?

There are indeed several legitimate ways to become an Amazon product tester. Below are some examples:

How to become an Amazon product tester SAFELY

• Amazon Vine (official & legitimate)
  Amazon Vine is an invitation-only program in which Amazon will select “the most insightful reviewers in the Amazon store” and allow them to “order items free of charge and share their product experiences with Amazon customers,” according to the program’s website.
  
  However, you cannot sign up for Amazon Vine. You’ll need to buy products, keep writing insightful reviews, and wait for Amazon’s invitation. Plus, if you have a chance to enroll in the Vine program, you won’t get paid — which encourages users to leave the most genuine, unbiased reviews.
  
• Third-party product reviewer websites/communities
  Besides Amazon Vine, there are many non-official product testing websites. These platforms offer opportunities for participants to test out products for free and share reviews with others online. Similarly, you won’t get paid for making these reviews; any website that guarantees you money as a reward is highly suspicious.
  
  Please keep in mind that since such platforms are NOT run by Amazon, you should do your own research to verify their legitimacy.
