The real way is to see the type of language the reviewer uses and if it is repetitive. Fake reviews sometimes say the same thing, but try to put it in different words. If they make multiple reviews within the same day (and only that day) they are probably (most likely) fake.

The tactics are nothing new. But the scale is very different. In China (and India too) the labour cost is so cheap and there are hundred of thousands of people working full time to create fake accounts, making fake sales and fake reviews, for very very low prices. It's a pity this video did not show those people in action. It's actually amazing to watch how a huge team of people each controlling tens of mobile devices and working in high efficiency. You cannot fight that by trying to be a humble honest online seller.

Not really scammers in China.... alot of people do it all over the world. All those tactics can be done anywhere... thats the harmful side of online businesses. As Amazon marketplace gets more saturated, no doubt sellers would do anything they can to drive up sales. The title is misleading, and should just say how scammers manipulate Amz marketplace and not specify 'China'. Thats discrimination, at least back it up with statistics if you want to mention China.

This is old news. You should really look into the ongoing speculation from thousands of online retail businesses, who buy really cheap fake products on Aliexpress/Alibaba etc, brand and resell it on Ebay and Amazon. Their level of automation is extreme. They heavily promote this scheme as a fast way of doing money. Advertising apps/algorithms and database software through which you reduce number of transactions, practically buying cheap products, branding and reselling without having to even check the product. You see these kind of ads everywhere on Facebook, Instagram or any social media platform out there. It's a disease really!

I trust and love Amazon when something is sold and delivered by Amazon. eBay is by far better with individual sellers.

@cozyvamp

It's been my experience as an Amazon consumer that, when I give a very bad review because a product is totally misrepresented, my reviews are immediately removed. For example, a Kindle version of a cookbook in French. I read enough French and have been cooking long enough that I frequently buy books like this is they aren't available in English. One such book I ordered, when I opened it on my Kindle, was only three pages long, and those were random photos that had little to do with the topic of the cookbook. Amazon had no explanation as to why my review was removed, nor, more significant, why they continued to sell these non-books. Somebody's got a friend in Amazon management. Ditto a DVD I ordered that had no DVD in the case. My review was removed, and I was offered neither a refund nor a replacement. This one is fairly common, if you watch reviews as closely as I do. Cheating at Amazon. You bet. Maybe they should be watching their employees more closely because sellers don't get away with these tactics without help from someone inside the company.

Thank you!!! I have shopped Amazon products for awhile and trusted the positive product reviews in the beginning. After awhile buying Amazon products based on reviews I was baffled why products I purchased were substandard or discount Dollar Store worthy at above grade prices. I would post my reviews of my disappointing experiences. Then my phone rang late into the night from callers representing the China or Asian companies I had purchased my Amazon products from. Emotionally they invariably told me to remove my reviews. Then in exchange for removing reviews offered to refund my money. Sometimes reviewers of Amazon products I wished to buy warned products were knock offs (Yeti and others ), based on their own buying experiences. I went to Yeti website and purchased products there and advised Yeti of the knock offs sold through Amazon. I have been amazed at Amazon for allowing these scam-y practices.

One very active reviewer wrote about what they did to him, in his review. It was very telling. There certainly is corruption in Amazon reviews. But I am a semanticist and can read between the lines. The most important thing I take away from this video is to be wary of extremely short reviews that provide no clue about the writer's origin. I will look for an unusual percentage of such extremely short reviews, to discount the product rating. That's the thing about China. Apparently they hate English.

This is not a Chinese thing, this is how you survive on Amazon. A new seller on Amazon cannot compete and sell anything at all. Why? Because no one buys a product with 0 reviews, and you can't get any reviews if you have no sales. Catch-22. SO, you must engage in activities such as free giveaways (which Amazon counts as sales), fake reviews, rank manipulation, etc. These tactics are absolutely required if you want to have a successful business, and the Chinese are not the only ones who do this. Everyone does this. Do your part and leave reviews. Us consumers have so much bias: when we have an awful experience, we rush to leave a 1-star review, but when we have a great experience, we do nothing. Do your part please.

Another way a company fights back is by reporting good reviews on protects of their competitors to get the good review taken down and then the reviewer barred from ever being able to make a review. It's happen to me three times now over the course of 2 years. I don't get an email or anything from Amazon, I am just told i broke community guidelines. Since the first time it happened, I have been taking screen shots of every review i make and sure enough, I am barred a few months later. I don't slander, nor do I take in products for free and then review them or receive compensation. I just love tech and try out lots of different items of one particular category and give an honest opinion. I believe this last time it was because I give 2 bad reviews for a iPad Pro 11 case that used horrible magnets and wasn't compatible to charge the Apple Pencil 2. I then gave a glowing review to one that didn't use magnets but cupped the corners of the iPad AND you are able to charge the Apple Pencil 2. A day later, banned.

Amazon charged my Discover $1 for adding the new FRAUD Account! I cancelled my Amazon Seller Account, but I have been unable to cancel the Chinese Account to my account.

Sellers would send me dozens of items daily for free in exchange for a 4-5 star review. I never compromised my morals or character and despite what they wanted because it violated amazons policies they didn’t want me at all to report them when they complained I didn’t give them 5 stars which was few and far between. I kept my honesty and integrity so I was ranked in the top 5,000 reviewers on the site where items were sent to me without contacting me. I have over 30 totes of brand new products I never reviewed or used because so much was being sent daily it was impossible for me by myself to keep up especially with the complaints and reporting.

I am not surprised. When I do a search on Amazon to find Products Made in the USA; and try to buy an item that says in the product's description, 'Made in the United States. Then when the item arrives it has a Made in China Logo.

How about Amazon.com using drivers license or ID number to identify you as the seller. That may help with multiple Fake accounts.

You can't simply blame the one who exploits the loophole, because your system isn't doing its job in the first place. If your house collapses from minor earth quake, you blame the earth quake or your house developer ?

Right. I’ve ordered a couple phones on eBay and found the screens were replaced with really terrible aftermarket ones. Well, at least eBay is still a good place to buy collectibles from honest sellers. I ordered a collectable on there from a small operation and it was very accurately described.

@@withaminutetogo Simple. Most companies make their stuff in China right? So how about you go to eBay and find that your product is now being sold dirt cheap and crappy in quality. Guess how that happens? The factory you manufacture at decides to undercut you and sell a crappy version of your product. Sooner or later it's gonna hit you in the pockets and customers on ebay lose trust in your product and in eBay itself.

I hated amazon the more I used it. Only so many times I can get ripped off and go back to buying from them. Worst purchase so far was buying an unlocked iPhone that after 2 months had lost connectivity and amazon did nothing to enforce a warranty. They always said we’re sorry but we tried and we can’t help but if they wanted to protect their customers they would’ve blocked the seller until they resolved the issues. 300$ on a phone that can only use WiFi was the last straw for me. I highly recommend not using amazon for ANYTHING.

Why are you all so triggered by media targeting China? I am chinese myself and have seen this too many times, people are hired to manipulate reviews and comments regarding a product, service and even religious. Remember how China rose to become the world factory? cheap labor. Even cheaper to leave a review.

I purchased a really cheap macbook Pro magsafe Power charger off Amazon. The vendor had some weird name like.. HJK312guf or something non-descript. The thing melted into itself like a burnt marshmellow. Hey- it was $7 vs the $80, and even melted it worked just long enough to get me by. The reviews? HORRIBLE. They all said the same thing with pictures that looked like mine. The shop wasn't shut down immediately because I was able to buy another cheap lame-o product until I could afford the $80 for my legit one, lol! And there were another 20 vendors with off names that sold the EXACT same product.
