FakeSpot site detects fake product reviews

I came upon this site today.
If you're buying a product online, you might find this site helpful when evaluating a product based on buyer reviews.

Fakespot | Analyze and identify fake reviews

I was online shopping for a hand held knife sharpener and was surprised that fakespot detected 79% of the reviews were faked! Another knife sharpener was analyzed as having only 7% fake reviews and therefore was deemed trustworthy.

The site even shows the remarks by suspected fake reviewers and you can tell they are by how vaguely they word their review.
The way they word their review could refer to any product ever made and are probably automated.

Love it. Thanks for sharing. I have bookmarked the site.

Interesting. Thanks for letting us know.

What a shame, I was considering buying this sharpner. Over 300 reviews for it too!

 

[taxlady]

Wow, 300 fake reviews! I would stay away from anything made by that company.

It would be a bigger shame if you bought it and it sucked.

Well they say that only 31% of the reviews for Tuscan Whole Milk on Amazon are fake when 100% of them are fake. Including one of mine!! It's become a well known satire site. Who buys a gallon of fresh milk on the Internet?

There are indications of inauthentic/low quality reviews, you be the judge.
Do you agree with this analysis?
