Summary
Online shoppers rely on reviews to make informed purchase decisions, but some sellers are buying fake reviews to boost their search results on Amazon. Shoppers can use websites like ReviewMeta or FakeSpot to estimate the trustworthiness of product reviews. Amazon struggles to catch sellers who pay for positive reviews, especially ahead of major shopping days like Black Friday. Customers should be cautious and report suspicious reviews.
