How do I verify online reviews?
One way to determine the authenticity of a review is to check who wrote it. Take the time to verify information from the reviewer's Facebook, Twitter, or review website profile (if available). Keep an eye on their location, account creation date, review activity, work information, and social accounts.
Are product reviews reliable?
Online reviews might help you decide what to buy or what company to hire. You should be able to trust that these reviews reflect the honest opinions of people who actually used a product or service. Unfortunately, some reviews are fake, deceptive, or manipulated — and that hurts both people and honest companies.
