Is this illegal? I have a page on upwork where I offer to edit writing.
I was contacted to post on amazon about a book in return for pay
"Would you feel comfortable giving the book a 5-s t a r rating and posting a review that we write?"
Seems...wrong?

Wow...that seems like all kinds of wrong. They would write the review and you post it under your username?!

That is so wrong!
I also believe that there are laws that could classify it as illegal.
There's actually a whole thing going on right now. Authors paying for positive reviews (and for click farms), or bullying their readers into submitting 5 star reviews. Amazon has even had to change its review policy because of it.

Thanks for the replies - I just feel as if it's not right to tell someone what review to give.
If they want to read it over that's alright...but seemed too sketchy for my moral code.
