Amazon's Fake Reviews
Amazon is America's favorite one-stop-shop for everything from office supplies to multivitamins. But with so many fraudulent products circulating online especially in the dietary supplement world we tend to put our trust in customer reviews to avoid purchasing any snake oils when looking for our next probiotic or diet pill. Unfortunately, a recent article published by the Washington Post reveals that many of these reviews, one of Amazon’s touted strengths, are falsified either written by people who haven’t used the products in question or by shoppers who have been reimbursed via Amazon discounts and money deposited directly into their PayPal accounts.
