So many reviews from Amazon suddenly disappearing into the night, never to be seen again!

I REALLY want a way to report these. I have a specific business that took advantage of my wife based on fake Google reviews but there is no real way to do anything about it. Google won’t do squat even when it is obvious. A business whose owners move to town and have 100 online review in one day a month later for roofing is not a real business.

Most reviewers have only done one review. All are 5.0. And one in particular had two reviews but the reply to the one that predated the one done for the business replied and used the owner’s name that is very unique. The account later changed the name, but the other business reply is still up.
