Fakespot has helped me a lot
I've gotten burned so many times buying products with high reviews on sites like Amazon.

I use this site religiously nowadays before purchasing products on sites like Amazon and Walmart. I also think the store rating is extremely helpful. I've also gotten burned buying stuff from sketchy stores.

I know a lot of sellers here are complaining that they are erroneously given low ratings, but I can say that for myself - Once I started using Fakespot a lot, I've had nearly zero product issues. It's been nearly 10 years since I've been using Fakespot, and I don't think I've had issues on more than literally a handful of products. I also order tons and tons of stuff on sites for myself, my family, and our business.

I make sure that what I buy have both high ratings on the store AND high ratings on Fakespot. I highly recommend Fakespot.

There are lots of upset sellers reviewing fakespot because they've been found out for paying people to review their products with 5 star reviews. Shame on them is all I can say. Fakespot looks for repeat phrases used by reviewers to review multiple products by the same seller to determine that it's a fake review. Just because someone has a verified purchase doesn't mean they weren't paid for the review. I trust fakespot to do the hard work for me.

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.

Had I known about Fakespot earlier it…
Had I known about Fakespot earlier it would have saved me a boatload of trouble! I'm so grateful to have found it several months ago. I use Mozilla for every purchase for the Fakespot add-on.
Before I knew about Fakespot I bought an item on Amazon that had 10,000+ (!!!) 5 Star reviews! It wasn't as advertised and when I attempted to use the return as stated in the ad page, the seller refused. Amazon wouldn't return my money "because they hadn't shipped it". 10,000 5 STAR REVIEWS! I finally had the bright idea to check the seller's own website = 1.5 stars and 100% complaints about product, service, and no return of funds paid. Guess what? Their website is no longer visible. HOW COULD AMAZON NOT HAVE KNOWN THIS?! I just thought to check what rating Fakespot has on this product on Amazon.. 1.5 stars! Yes, I absolutely LOVE and trust Fakespot and don't buy anything without it. Check yourself.... When Fakespot tells you the truth, find the company's own website to see the reviews there...
