hi everyone Rick the cheapskate variety here with an important tip for Amazon shoppers see if this sounds familiar you're looking for something on Amazon and naturally gravitate to the product that has the five star rating thinking it must be good you click buy now hold on there partner some of those reviews might be fake and could have been planted there by the vendors employees or even paid reviewers although amazon has taken steps to crack down on this problem it's still a problem there are a couple tools designed to help you ferret out the fakes fake spot and review meta use sophisticated algorithms to vet reviews and let you know how many of them are legitimate just copy and paste any Amazon URL to either site and you'll see well reviews of the reviews better still both services offer browser extensions that scan an Amazon page with just one click problem solved right not necessarily before you decide against a product remember that when you see a low rating fakes but is merely grading the percentage of questionable reviews not the product itself so a c- grade for the reviews doesn't mean that the product should also get a c-minus and in my experience fake spot and review meta are sometimes at paws with each other one indicates slots of fake reviews the other gives most of them a pass so these services can be helpful but use them in combination with your own judgment I recommend reading the reviews for yourself it's pretty easy to spot ones that are totally made-up as with anything you buy online always check the sellers return policy and the products warranty I purchase lots of items that had questionable reviews but turned out to be just as good as advertised so take everything with a grain of salt and always use common sense
