Fake video testimonials: Inside the world of fake reviews (CBC Marketplace)

That's why I only look at bad reviews. You'll find all the known issues with products from people who actually purchased them. Update: Wow! Got so many coments here. I buy most of my stuff on line now except for food and clothing. When it comes to food everyone is different so what some one else likes is not necessarily what I like. Measuments for clothing is not very precise so I'd rather try them on before I buy. In general I just use some common sense. I know there are companies buying bad reviews for competitors so I keep that in mind too. Picture's of how products failed and how the seller handled the situation is what I like to see.

[@goldenheart4575]

I don't usually look at 1 or 5 star reviews because they are extremes, but I mainly pay attention the the ones in the middle, 2-4 star reviews, especially the 3 stars. They usually point out a pattern of positives and negatives and I weigh in from there. I always find it suspicious when there are more 1 or 5 star reviews over the others. There had to be people who didn't absolutely hate or love the service/item, but just thought that it was ok.

@Everything CoolAll this comes down to the money, all these celebrities can be bought to do and say anything (as long as your price is right). I don't go with any of these testimonials, I know my body and I go with what works for me. We humans tend to complicate our lives by getting trapped into these advertisements or "what people will think" just live a balanced life. Things go wrong when we start to follow other people without understanding ourselves. What works for me might not work for you. So it all comes down to money and preying on people who want shortcuts. "30 day ab workout" "15 day bulk up routine" I'm sure none of those guys bulked up or got abs in 30 days. It's a journey and need patience and time, and people who lack self discipline fall for these shortcuts. You also need to understand that this channel wants to make money and sell their stuff, they can't go after big guys because they have to face their lawyers before they can even hear a word from them. She is a small fish who probably doesn't know much about the law and will create drama. This is perfect material for trailers and get people watch the show.

[@a.ced.2052]

This is BS story... All I had to do is watch 2.5 minutes and you can smell deception with this.. 1st like another commenter said why do they go after the reviewer instead of the company... They are guilty of much more than what the actress is portraying to be... Then they say they set up a sting to set her up and catch her because they dont know who she is... If this was true and they claim that she was breaking the law then why didn't they just have her arrested??? How do you not know someone who you claim that you've previously hired... Unfortunately Can't trust the mainstream news stations to give truth this is why we must seek the independent journalists...

them ALSO yes must do so as well.... tho go after her n others who r all too similar too....

[@beijaflor1908]

@Everything Cool that's true too.... n that is fing also F'd up n very wrong in the least.... however, one thing hopefully they r not doing is putting on a physicians coat n referring to themselves suddenly as expert licensed medical physicians, if when they r not, without thinking twice.... nor changing false fraud identities on the daily; including impersonating fraudulent so called 'experienced professionals....' etc etc....

Sarafina Donald I just noticed a few days ago that they took down a negative very through review about a bottle of synthetic tea tree oil when the seller claims the oil is “all natural”. I write the review about 8 months ago, and I just noticed a few days ago that they took it down and the reason they cited is that “it has sensitive information in it”. While I’m not positive what they really actually mean by saying that, I know I can say for a fact that my review was family friendly. No bad worlds or anything . What I had posted about that ultimately had my review shielded from public view was everything I has learned on the MASSIVE MASSIVE detection practices used by lots and lots and lots of people and business in the beauty product industry(and beyond, really) Now the issue is so ginormous and so massive I would never be able to explain it properly on here but I could just give people one example one really good example. The teacher oil that I bought from Amazon was about like $14 for 4 ounces of tea tree oil and it said it was natural on the bottle and ingredients list was 100% Teatree oil. I got it it had a weird smell so I did a bunch of research and I found out that when I purchased was not actually 100% natural Teatree all but 100%Synthetic Teatree oil. So me and made tea tree oil. Cheaper than the alternative natural stuff. Which is what makes it so attractive to Thieves and con artists. Because apparently in the beauty product industry world it’s not illegal to be deceptive on your labeling and there’s very little to no oversight on those kinds of things so basically the beauty products industry just gets through run wild being deceptive and it just continues and majority of customers and consumers are completely unaware of all of this. The situation is very very bad so that’s why I just encourage anybody who uses beauty products and anybody who doesn’t do you go find out all this information on your own and draw your own conclusions and all of that good stuffyou n

When I watch the fast food commercials I understand and am aware that these are paid actors conveying the ideas and words of others. Here people think they are seeing a Dr. Deciet is whay makes this different from acting and it can hurt people. Her reaction itself shows that she is aware of this.

[@Anna-tc6rz]

The thing is, legally only the people who put the review on their sites are at fault. They're supposed to indicate that it's a paid promotion and I think she can even claim being licensed for certain things as long as they indicate she isnt too.

Yes I did. When she was advertising for me, the script I gave her went through an Entertainment Attorney first. She was not representing herself as an expert at Leasing Real Estate. She was pointing out the features of my rental properties which was totally legal. She has been contracting with me long before this news story came out. Since she is an independent contractor I do not look into what they do for other clients. I would not blame SANPAN, I would blame the company that gave her the script. I would never put an actress in a position to call themselves an expert in a field that they have no knowledge of.
