Yup, this is true as well. I could go on and on about all the stuff I see happen.
What you're talking about tends to happen over facebook or wechat. But there are "Amazon Launch Services" which are far more pervasive in my experience. You'll find countless services like Viral Launch, JumpSend, etc. that find some way to make it hassle free to get those first few crucial reviews.
The funniest thing I've ever seen happen is one person was scamming the sellers. They would place the order, get paid via PayPal, and then cancel the Amazon order. It was cathartically beautiful.
