Fake reviews

Reviews and ratings

Fake reviews are reviews that are fabricated, purchased, or posted by people who did not have a genuine experience with a business. They can be positive or negative and often violate platform policies. Fake reviews create legal and reputational risk and can lead to penalties or removal. A safer response is to document evidence, report through platform processes, and increase authentic review volume through compliant requests.

Why it matters

Fake reviews distort decision-making and can harm both reputation and platform standing.

Example

A cluster of 1-star reviews appears from new accounts within one hour, all repeating the same claim without order details.
