Exclamation Fakespot.com - for checking how many reviews are fake.

This site is new to me and I've found it very helpful.

https://www.fakespot.com/

You paste in an URL and it analyzes the reviews for validity. It works on Amazon, Yelp and other popular review sites.

Check out the rating for P90X reviews on Amazon:

I like that they warn you that some personal/cosmetic products might be fake, even if shipped and sold by Amazon:

I have received products from Amazon that were fakes. The worst offending categories are in personal care and beauty products.

Down the rabbit hole I go.

So interesting to see the results when there are lots of fakes.

Don't know what's worse - getting a fake or garbage.

Yeah. I guess we didn't learn enough from shopping on ebay to let the message sink in.

Me? I try to buy direct from major retailers when the age/quality of the item is really important (makeup, skin care, food ... ) .

Lately I've been irritated with Walmart and Target's websites because it seems to be harder to filter out the search results from marketplace vendors. If I wanted to access those sorts of results I wouldn't have been searching on a major retailer's website in the first place.
