Suspicious reviews

Ladybug724 · ‎03-12-2010

I really wonder about these reviews that pop up when there is a tsv. Why does it seem like all of the reviews for a tsv (on the day that it is a tsv) are posted either that very day that it is a tsv or the day before. And, they are of course 5 stars! Also the title is usually "Love it!" And it's usually just a couple of reviews but again, 5 stars. Just seems odd to me

Me too.

When I've posted something as lousy, it is quickly buried by around 5-6 positive 'love it' reviews. How can people 'love' objects? They don't and ever won't love them back.

Right. What I find strange is the timing of these reviews. And they are most of the time 5 stars

Right? Unlike, say, roses... ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$

(I'm just teasing! I do think there are shenanigans with reviews here and elsewhere online.)

I wish they would do what they do at HSN. You cannot write a review unless you have bought the product. They really need to do that here. Of course that would not exempt employees at the Q putting in fake reviews if they wanted to.

And you have to own it for about a week before posting a review.

Right, there needs to be some verification that you even OWN the item....

Otherwise, how can ANY of the reviews be trusted?

That's a good system. QVC needs to adopt it, but I still believe there are shills posting reviews on products and on the forums.

Well, you can always tell when the product isn't a good one at all when they never show the old, "Customer Top Rated" logo when presenting a specific product. That certainly tells alot.
