Fake and Misleading Reviews on This Product: Does anyone else feel that Amazon should step in when companies try to mislead paying Amazon Prime customers by posting Fake and Paid-for reviews?

don't buy!!! I got these pills yesterday and you can't even read the ingredients. You would need a magnifier to read the ingredients which is really disapointing. I'm returning mine. If someone knows of a good brand for Green Coffee bean exctract with the qualifications of Dr. OZ please respond!!!! I'm still looking for a good brand.

I just got mine in the mail. I have given it a thorough examination and it is almost certainly legit. If it isn't, I think it was less profitable to knock it off so well than it would have been to just become a distributer for Japan Porlex. It seems like there is an active, corrupt, concerted effort to knock this Amazon offering. I almost didn't go for it, because of some of the spooky reviews, but I'm so glad I did.

You'd think after all the complaining, someone at Amazon would get the hint! I got duped too, failed to read the other reviewers sage advice...

I am VERY sceptical of the reviews of this product. Rarely does ANY product receive a 4.9 rating (and NO 1, 2, or 3 star reviews) with as many reviews (73 as of 1 Jan 14), and wrist monitors are NOTORIOUSLY INNACURATE. It took me 3 minutes to scan all 73 "reviews," and I found that NOT ONE had an "Amazon Verified Purchase" tagline on it, further reinforcing my belief that these are phony reviews probably mostly done by Ozeri employees (many of them even say their review is in exchange for the device, i.e., they got it FREE). I say AVOID the thing and save the grief.

So "amazon payments" wanted you to lie and say it was for a friend. Yeah, right! I wonder how many people fall for this crap?

I just check and see if they have other reviews, especially different types of products, my reviews are really random, lots of different products and categories. So find the review you find most relevant then check their other reviews and if they seem legitimate, then your probably safe. In the case of this product, I found several 5 star reviews very legitimate, I just ordered and will definitely give a review.

One way to tell if a review is fake, is if it says amazon verified purchase on it. If they at least purchased the product from Amazon it is less likely to be a fake. Another way to tell is by reading them, most of the fake reviews are the sorts you would hear on the infomercials. Like, This product is great, i have tried many weight loss supplements with no effect. But once i tried "product" i just couldn't believe the difference. They usually talk about how this is the only product for them, and try to discourage you from buying other products. Or just plain and simple leave a simple review not explaining their experience with the product, and just claiming it works. People get paid to leave fake reviews, so just because they have prior reviews doesn't always mean they are real reviews. Maybe the previous ones were fake as well. Or maybe they were a previous member who shopped on amazon and now is doing fake reviews for companies. All of those are possibilities. So just pay close attention to the reviews, check to see if they are verified purchases, and if they sound too good to be true. Usually your gut instincts will kick in and tell you that a review is fake.

I find this entire conversation to be incredibly sad because NEVER has amazon reacted to any of the reviews I've reported for being actual garbage. Yet they find the time to repeatedly remove your review. Obviously, the customer isn't as important to amazon as the reseller.

They're eBay feedback rating is pretty good too. I believe it was 98% out of around 20,000 ratings. It really is strange that there is such a drastic difference between their reseller ratings vs. amazon

They had a special promotion, "selling" the item for $1 in hopes of good reviews. They remind recipients to review. They encourage only good reviews -- if you don't like it you are supposed to tell them, not put it on FB. I have done this for a number of products now. I think I can be objective even if the item is free, but I'm beginning to wonder if most reviewers can. I haven't tried this item yet, but I will review it fairly!This whole experience has taught me to be a little cautious about the trust I put in FB reviews.

Something is not right, if it is truly a product from MySnoringSolution, there are 3 sizes they sell. This must be a scam. Amazon's control of who gets to sell items through amazon prime is getting worse every day.

Yes! I paid $10 more to buy this from amazon as the seller knowing that if something happened or it was a fake they would return it. I registered mine online and confirmed it was the real deal... Some reviewers had received fakes from other venders and could not register it because the product number didn't exisit

I suppose it's their convincing advertising. Also the assumption that Amazon sells quality products. Amazon should read reviews and respond accordingly. We threw good money away on this purchase.

Thank you, Travis. Many reviews do look fake -- how can a no name brand get 75 reviews in only 2 months of product launch? Anyway, since I've already bought it, I'll keep trying. Appreciate your tips, though.

yeah this is just awful the way these fake reviews are tricking people. As a huge amazon fan and cuistomer it is very upsetting that they let this go on.

I wonder that too, looks like many of the reviews could be fake or people from the company. They only have 1 review and it happens to be this product....

I'd like Amazon to take a look at this. These reviews are definitely fake, and this is completely unfair. It's probably a moot point since no one buys this product, but seriously - check this out!First of all, every single 5-star review - each person has ONLY REVIEWED THIS PRODUCT.Secondly, each five star review has NOTHING bad to say about the product. Usually, reviews have positive things to say, and at least one negative thing to say.
