Fakespot is the BIGGEST FAKE AND FRAUD…

Fakespot is the BIGGEST FAKE AND FRAUD OF THEM ALL!! Their algorithm for however they randomly determine "real reviews" is soooo off. No wonder why they have so many complaints against them. They hurt so many honest small businesses with their absurd grading method. Use ReviewMeta.com instead for reliable review evaluations.

DO NOT TRUST FAKESPOT

Our Company Got an F on Fakespot for a Product we don't even sell on Amazon. Apparently in 2019 a Company listed our product and attempted to do drop shipping. We sent the Company a Cease and Desist letter. Our Company still has an F on Fakespot.

Great idea but flawed and may depend on a reviewer's writing style

Great idea, possibly more accurate for items with hundreds of reviews, but needs far more work. I suspect it may rely on certain words often used in marketing other than just someone with copy and paste skills to be deemed as fake reviews, or more unique writing styles in order to be deemed genuine..?.. but the results can sometimes be nonsensical regardless, eg for a pair of headphones with 72 reviews: Least authentic review - 'Some reviews say that the cable is to long and heavy utter ...

If a dealer bad-mouths it

If a dealer bad-mouths it, it probably is a good product. Think about a state insurance commissioner that is disliked by the insurance industry. Probably means they are the one to vote for.

It just doesn't work...yet

It just doesn't work. Fakespot is a noble idea, but they are not there yet. I really like the way the add-in is designed from a functionality perspective, but the AI needs to be ironed out. The concept of fake spotting is very important. I think they will get it right, but for now, it isn't something I can trust. Hopefully, they are well funded because I really want them to succeed. The company has been unresponsive for three weeks and three attempts to contact them. The rating tool can ...

Fakespot is such an unreliable service

Fakespot is such an unreliable service. I've rated hundreds of items on various websites. Somewhere along the line I found out about Facespot. I thought, "Wow, a a site to help find out what crap reviews are out there! What a great service." So I checked them out. I've been checking out their ratings of reviews for around 8 months now and you just can't trust them either. I've seen them rate items with hundreds and thousands of reviews with a D rating or not give them a rating for not ...

Garbage In, Garbage out. LAWYER UP !!!!!

Fakespot issued a warning label for our business on Amazon. We have fulfilled thousands of orders online with only two complaints in the last two years and are rated as 4 stars out of five on Amazon. Yet Fakespot has issued this Warning label while providing none of their own reviews whatsoever, No A through F rating (only a ? provided), their own statement that "The product reviews were unavailable when we attempted to do our analysis". Our business has suffered as a result and we are in ...

I love that TrustPilot (a fake review and astroturfing company) is calling FakeSpot a fake. Wow...
