Amazon Seller sent me a postcard asking me to leave a 5-star review

Wanted to jump in and throw this here since this is about the first time I've been reached out to by an Amazon seller by mail, directly asking me to leave a 5-star review in exchange for a $20 gift card. With an already struggling E-commerce market, it's quite strange to see the lengths sellers are going to, to buy 5-star reviews from buyers. I am considering reporting this to Amazon, however wanted to run this by you guys and hear similar stories from you! Here is the card I received: https://i.imgur.com/9ARMZdI.png
