Across several online stores, fake reviews or paying people for a good word has become an increasing problem. The issue is prevalent on Amazon, where a dozen or so companies were recently caught in a âreviews for rewardsâ scheme.
The products are swiftly removed from Amazonâs shopping portal, as was the case with RAVPower. The company was caught sending out a $35 gift card in exchange for a review from a Wall Street Journal journalist.
To thwart fake reviews, a website developed an algorithm that checks for mysterious words, review frequency, and product reviewsâ general health. Amazon has taken a different view of the app and asked Apple to remove it.
Amazon on Friday said it complained to Apple about an app called Fakespot, which it claims inaccurately identified fraudulent sellers and fake reviews, leading to the title s removal from the App Store.
Fakespot bills itself as a data analytics firm that applies artificial intelligence to the task of detecting false reviews and reviewers on a variety of sites including Amazon, TripAdvisor, Walmart and Yelp, according to its website. The goal of the program is to protect consumers from misleading information, the company says.
Amazon, which is facing a growing problem of fake or incentivized reviews, in a statement said Fakespot provides customers with misleading information about our sellers and their products, harms our sellers businesses, and creates potential security risks when it uses tools that do not adhere to Amazon s own grading system, reports
