One of the benefits of the Internet and new technology is that today we can buy anything without going out. Thanks to services like Ebay, AliExpress or Amazon, we have millions of products that we have in the palm of our hand, almost all the way, at lower prices than regular stores.
However, when shopping online, not everything is good or gold. We must not be wary not only of the potential fraud, something that Xiaomi has already produced by making numerous videos explaining how to detect counterfeit products, but also the so-called “false reviews”.
False reviews are more common than you think. Many retailers use the following strategy. Usually they interact with specific users and offer them their products for free to get a good online review. Sometimes other discounts and / or cash discounts. In this way, the visionary of the product in question is full of excellent ideas that in many cases do not correspond to the quality of the final product. So the importance of analyzing what you buy and research a product and not buying it is crazy
How to know if reviews on Amazon are false
Let's take as an example one of the most important online stores in the world, Amazon. Amazon is not only known for being the richest man in the world, but also for being an online store with quality products, good prices and a decent after-sales service. But Amazon is not perfect.
False reviews are very common on Amazon and although there are often many hard to find, you just have to do a little exercise to get them. Very simple, look for a product on Amazon and go to the comments. Do many of them have a photo gallery and look like a commentary from a magazine? Update "false". We have no doubt that this person may have liked the product, but come on, the most common thing is that as you get it for free you don't analyze bad points.
Don't just rely on first impressions
So, first of all, not just relying on Amazon's first comment. You need to go to them because when you read a large portion of these you can get an idea of the kind of product we are going to buy, if you are wrong or if you really do not have the quality we were expecting, but we should not stop there.
Comments are a good source of information but also they are a two-edged sword. From here we recommend that you not only read the first three or four ideas, but the whole.
See question and answers section
The customer questionnaire and the answer section on Amazon is another great way to know if the ideas we read above are true or not. This section, unlike comments or comments, truthfully true because it is very difficult to deceive by the seller.
Here there are no free products or discounts. Here are answers to questions from users or from the manufacturer itself (identified by Amazon) or other buyers, i am content with buying … or not.

Visit other web pages
If, in addition to the above, we continue to doubt, the solution is simple. Go to Google and search for the product in question or review (similar to YouTube). Immediately we will be offered hundreds of websites where products are analyzed or forums where their opinion is given directly.
And you'll only have to read them, Sort through the most relevant information and draw our conclusions
Obviously shopping online has its dangers but fortunately there is a solution that even though you have followed all the above tips, you have fallen into it. Amazon generally has a great after-sales service and so it always does the option to return the product if it is unsatisfactory and just report to the seller in case the ad description does not match the original product.
