Reviewer posted 156 ratings in 1 day and all are 4 stars

Hey!

A friend came to me and it seems like a bot went review crazy and did 156 reviews in a day- all of them 4 stars.

I’ve marked the answer of @AlexandreCampbell as the solution as it is correct.

If you would like me to take a look please PM me a link to the profile that has left the reviews @Cocofoshosho and I will escalate if warranted.
