I heard a story on NPR where a lot of people randomly receive merchandise from Amazon they didn't order, because a lot of the fake reviewers make verified purchases and have the products shipped to random addresses.

I also heard about this. I also heard that, Amazon now removing those fake review and very strictly handling this.
I have heard little known brand do this kind activity just like the Kliein CL800 multimeter https://bestmultimeterreviews.org/klein-cl800-review/. I bought this but don't work as expected. I guess, this clamp multimeter have lots of fake reviews.

On that note, of course someone would come up with something to spot fake reviews.
