Mark Reynoso, the president of Belkin has written an apology letter over the alleged offer of a glowing review of company’s products by a representative. Michael Bayard, a representative of Belkin Business Development appeared to be attracting people from Mechanical Turk to review Belkin’s products on Amazon.

According to Reynoso:

We want to stress that this is an isolated incident and to re-instill trust with you, we have taken the following courses of action:

- We’ve acted swiftly to remove all associated postings from the Mechanical Turk system.
- We’re working closely with our online channel partners to ensure that any reviews that may have been placed due to these postings have been removed.

Here is the complete letter by Reynoso.
