My best friend is a writer so sometimes checks out sites like elance for jobs and there are SO many people hiring folks to write fake reviews or blogs to promote items. Usually they have the writers add a few extra reviews/blog posts so they look more "legit", or they may hire someone who uses an account they already have. She handed one off to me that was supposed to "writing up information on a product or service" or something that ended up being they wanted to hire writers to create fake blogs to make their money making scheme sound good, because there were tons of complaints about getting ripped off already out there. We obviously got out of that messy situation fast (and told the folks that run the site why). But I bet they had no problem finding someone else.
Looking through the most recent reviews/reviewers at least, in my opinion most of them look very iffy. Enough that if I was a potential customer, I would not be buying after looking through those.
