The power of RECOMMENDATIONs on Amazon and Trustpilot – repeated as a mantra by DM2Agency and… have a look how some eCommerce businesses desperately execute this:
An investigation by BBC 5 live and consumer group Which? uncovered the trade in false reviews:
- Paid-for, or fake, reviews flout rules set by platforms such as Amazon and Facebook.
- Some online sellers are offering people free goods in return for positive product reviews, e.g. a smartwatch
- After posting a 3-star review with photos customers were told they would not be refunded unless they wrote a five-star review.
Tips: How to spot a fake review
- Do not rely on ratings – delve deeper and read the reviews
- Check the dates – look at when the reviews were posted. If many of them were posted in a short time period, it might mean there has been a push for reviews on Facebook groups or other platforms
- Impartial reviews – click on some reviewers and check their history. Do they give everything five stars?
- Pattern of ratings – are the ratings at different ends of the scale with very little in between? It is rare that people are completely polarised about a product
