Words can be misleading. When we need to reply on someone’s opinion to make a decision, __1__ is of great importance. One form of “informed opinion” is a product review, which considerably influences our purchasing decisions. In the Internet marketplace, reviews are very __2__, as the customer d oesn’t have direct access to the product. A product review of an “expert” or a customer, who has used the product, __3__ influences us. Many customers have been __4__ into buying low-quality products by false reviews. Here are some ways to spot the false reviews.
There are plenty of __5__ stores which pay people to write good reviews of their products. __6__, these people write very short reviews, with sentences often like “Of all the bags I have used, this one is the best ever.” Look out, if the same product has multiple reviews published within a short time frame. That is a classic sign of a __7__ review-writer’s job.
__8__on actual details and high on drama! That is another obvious sign of a fake review. The reviewer will be all crazy about the product, __9__it as the best product ever purchased, without going into much detail about its features. No __10__ will be discussed, and there will be more talk about how he is happy with the product, rather than why. Low detailing is a sure __11__ that the review is not written out of experience.
__12__ the reviewer if he has a profile（档案）. Fake reviews will typically get common first names like Joe, Jim. Th e profile might reveal other reviews written by the same person. If you find him or her reviewing the same product over and over again or multiple products with __13__ wording and style, you have spotted a professional fake review writer!
Not all reviews are reliable, but that doesn’t __14__ there aren’t any reliable ones out there and that you shouldn’t shop online. The trick is to read as much as you can about a product from __15__ sources, online as well as offline, before making a decision. This will help you get away from fake reviews and let actual facts influence your decision.
