JoyfulC 132299 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 I happened upon a couple posts about fake reviews today (presumably not for escorts, but for anything from consumer goods to restaurants, hotels, etc.). My first thought was, boy, I know some people who could write the book on that topic! ;) Check them out: http://consumerist.com/2010/04/spot-fake-online-reviews.html http://lifehacker.com/5511726/hone-your-eye-for-fake-online-reviews?skyline=true&s=i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andee 220524 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 I believe I mentioned this on a thread somewhere else that a few years back there was speculation that an SP was shilling her own reviews because there was some word that was misspelled in 3 separate posts. I can't for the of me remember what the word was, but the odds of 3 people misspelling it couldn't be a coincidence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do look at reviews when I buy or try something new, but I don't think I'm influenced much by them. Too often, there's 1 or 2 cranky people declaring "it's a rip off!" or some such thing, but I tend to buy on features; I use white papers when I can; and generally I tend to be satisfied with my purchases. The only place I could never ever use a review is on movies -- if the critics love it, I usually hate it (if I can stay awake). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
