  • Bogus online reviews are targeted by US regulators with new, proposed bans
    Whenever I shop at Amazon, I use fakespot.com to check on honesty of reviews and half the time I ended up not buying because the fakespot determine it has high numbers of fake reviews. Source: 10 months ago
  • Zero Tolerance Hinderer 0562CF (3.5" CPM-20CV Satin/Stonewashed Plain Blade, Carbon Fiber with Titanium Handle) - $238.66 (Regular Price - $292 (KnifeCenter)) [Referral]
    An additional friendly reminder about https://fakespot.com. It's an extremely valuable tool that highlights fake Amazon (and other sites) reviews by showing a simple A-F grade next to each product. I do not buy anything from Amazon without it, having purchased absolute junk products that amazingly had 4.9/5 from 3,846 reviews (or whatever) too many times. Source: 11 months ago
  • Amazon has turned in to Ali Express
    Fakespot.com isn't infallable but a good way to look for obvious fake reviews. Source: 12 months ago
  • How to recognize if an e-commerce site is legit?
    The browser extension from fakespot.com can be very helpful in your quest. It is more than just an Amazon review analyzer. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Are these 2 sites legit?
    Ptvmerch.uk e-commerce checks out legit per fakespot.com. Source: about 1 year ago
  • BGG's rating system needs an update
    It would be great if there was something like fakespot.com and reviewmeta.com for BGG which adjusts the ratings accordingly. Source: about 1 year ago
  • My grandparents' home. Built in the early 70s.
    It's like how fakespot.com filters out the fake amazon comments. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Amazon Announces Closure of its Charitable Platform, AmazonSmile
    -Reviews posted on Amazon is corrupted by fake reviews. I use a site called fakespot.com to see if the review of product I am interested can be trusted or not. As an example, CNN did product review that the writer rated very high. I found the product in question in Amazon and checked it on fakespot. Fakespot rated the product review as "D" meaning high rate of deception on review so I did not purchase it. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Do you trust online reviews?
    Use fakespot.com to find fake reviews. They will take a site like Amazon and analyze how many of the reviews are fake and grade the link from F to A on trustworthiness. I’ve noticed a lot of popular products with tens of thousands of reviews have a lot of fake ones. I do trust items with less reviews more. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What is a purchase you regret? let's help others avoid our mistakes
    It has its flaws but fakespot.com helps with legit vs fake reviews on products. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Prime day tips
    In most cases looking at the recent reviews and 3 star reviews gives you a good idea. If you are still not sure you can try ReviewMeta and Fakespot. They analyze and weed out fake reviews. And looking for reviews on Reddit works great (if available). Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Anyone know if these pills are effective at blocking DHT? I don't really trust amazon reviews
    Use fakespot.com to check the validity of user reviews. They use algorithms that determine what's legit and what's not. I use it before purchasing anything on Amazon. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Has anyone ever tried Veronni makeup? I'm a little skeptical about buying unknown makeup on Amazon
    Be sure to always use fakespot when buying anything on Amazon. It helps you identify which products have fake reviews. (Many of them do.) I personally try to avoid the "fake word" companies. Sketchy as fuck. Especially for something you're putting on your body! Source: about 2 years ago
  • Recommended Rechargeable C Batteries
    I wouldn't buy from Amazon. Too many fakes and fake reviews (fakespot.com can help). Source: about 2 years ago
  • Shoddy stuff from Amazon
    Tell everyone you know about fakespot.com It determines how many of the reviews on an item are fake and gives you a true star rating using only the authentic reviews. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Earplugs off Amazon comes with a card showing their 1 star reviews
    Fakespot.com helps a little, but it's still a gamble. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Crimpers and terminals and ferrules oh my
    That hex ferrule crimper will probably work just fine. As long as there's enough adjustment for a decent range of sizes, it's not super critical. As far as brands go, I'd recommend reading reviews (and maybe trying one of the review checkers like Review Meta or Fake Spot, etc to weed out the robot reviews). Cheap Chinese made stuff can totally work, but there are often lots of different versions that all look... Source: over 2 years ago
  • Good quality pet products and brand
    Thanks for the warning on Orijen. About Amazon reviews, those can be easily faked. It's well known that many knock-off companies buy 5-star reviews. I recommend using https://fakespot.com to rate the product reviews. Even then, you can't be sure that it's not fake. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Review Thursday - All about Reviews
    Fakespot.com to check amazons reviews or rather amazons clients reviews. Source: over 2 years ago
  • LPT: Never make your purchasing decisions based on the products' rating on Amazon. A lot of sellers are paying customers to leave high star reviews or remove their low star reviews. On top of the number of fake reviews, this means shoddy products receive the highest ratings.
    If you're going to buy from Amazon, I recommend first going to fakespot.com to have the site analyze the quality of the reviews. I'm super happy someone told me about that place; it's kept me from buying things based on deceptive reviews. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Massive database of fake Amazon reviews exposed
    Yup. I check every single product on fakespot prior to ordering. Amazon reviews are not to be trusted anymore. Source: almost 3 years ago
