Hello fellow Product Hunters, Saoud from Fakespot here. I created Fakespot back in 2015 when I got ripped off on Amazon after buying a supplement that was filled with saw dust from a wood shop. The product had 100s of 5 star reviews and they were all fake. I created Fakespot to help me out when shopping online so that I would not waste hours of my time verifying the authenticity of reviews. I am a programmer and my passion is in AI, NLP and ML. Fakespot turned from a website used by tens of people to millions of people. Since then, the mission of the company is to bring back trust and transparency to the Internet, starting with eCommerce. Not many people are in our corner, but with Fakespotters, we can change the trend of fake information for our beloved Internet.
Very useful and I will be able to save money and buy quality products!
thank you for your kind words! Please reach out to us at with any additional feedback.
I've used Fakespot for years. Thanks for creating this!
thank you for being a loyal Fakespot user! We greatly appreciate it.
It's good to mention that it only works on Amazon.com and not on the other Amazon websites (I tried .de)
that is correct, but there will be many new sites coming soon. Fakespot currently supports Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com.au and Amazon.in. We also support Best Buy, eBay (seller ratings only), Sephora and Walmart. Please let us know if there is any sites you would like to see us analyze and protect you from scams on.
Great work
thank you for your kind words. Please let us know what you like and do not like about Fakespot. User feedback is very important to us.
I love Fakespot, I don't buy anything Fakespot flags on Amazon
thank you for your kind words. We are happy to help make eCommerce what it should be: a safe shopping experience free of scams and returns.
Amazon has been taken over by fake reviews. This is going to be very helpful!

thank you
Funny to see that Fakespot is mentionned in a Netflix documentary "Broken"!
Tried on a few products. Downgraded ratings for all products I tried, even for products I used and found to be genuine. So not sure how well it reflects actual ratings.
What algorithm will distinguish fake reviews?
