[Sanguine]

If you want to avoid getting scammed on Amazon and other sites, you might think the reviews section is your best friend. After all, if there’s a problem with the product other customers would point it out.

Having said that, there are tools that help spot such nonsense, and you can learn to recognize fake reviews with time.
