Some reviews are not true

I have read reviews on products and services and I must say most of them are not true. I think the best review is yours. I will no specify here which company was it but before I availed its service, I read a couple of reviews. The reviews sounded a bit fair because the reviewer said the pros and cons but when I tried it myself, most of what she said was false. The service was at all ineffectual! Have you experienced it too?

True l think testimonial can be faked too. You just have to create a false account and post anything that will favor the things they sell online.

@Janet357 Yes because they get paid for it or enjoy freebies from doing some video testimonials about them.

You know every bad review can be deleted by the seller, that's what I often encounter.

The product reviews are sometimes made up by the company. You are right best review is yours. Trust yourself more than anybody else.

@Janet357 but good or bad a product, it based on ourselves. Just like skincare, good for people don't mean good for us, and vice versa

There are microjob sites where they are get paid a few cents to give good reviews. People shouldn't settle for that for all of us but alas that's not the case. I would have worked for such sites but because of such jobs where I would be asked to rate and review a hotel or restaurant I've never been into, I stopped even if I didnt reach payout. It is like cheating. For those who give reviews, they should at least state that they are sponsored for giving the review.

wow, that's cheating indeed! And lying. How can you make a review on a hotel you have never been to?
