+ 16 spotting fake reviews

One of the popular methods for a SRC to leave fake reviews is by simply copy/ pasting reviews from a few months earlier. If you highlight a section of text in a review, right click, then google search you can see if that same line of bullshit has been said before.
Shame on ##censored for selling fake gear as well as leaving fake reviews.
I invite you all to search this phrase
Pharmaceuticals has become one of my favorites because the price is always right. Simply put I have had amazing results.

suppdirect.com just added fake review . read last 3 reviews. fake anavar, bad delivery process, then new guys comes along, saying grea PROCESS AND GUeSS WHAT HE BOUGHT ANAVAR, BET HILL BE BACK 2 WEEKS SAYING HOW GREAT THEY WERE WHEN THERE OBVIOSLY FAKE. eroids whats the point in reviews if you let this happen. please take a look
For a fake review, that one sure was weak. IT'll be flagged as a shitty review, whether its fake or not.
It's a fine line between probably a fake review and definitely a fake review. I'm pretty happy with the way eroids mods handle these fake accounts.
I'm actually banned on another board right now for calling out what I believed to be fake accounts.
When they borrow their avi pics from other boards, or have a different body in their before/after pics it can become pretty blatant.
Nice detective work CB. Definitely worth a +2 for helping to keep things real.
Lol, simply put, somebody fucked up.
Thanks Bro! I'm going to try this.
TronThat's some good detective work right there.. anyone that gives a crap about the legitimacy of this site needs to practice this method. +1
Tronbe an excellent idea to practice this when a source is running a promo for free gear for those that have reviewed before ... when the review comes in check their profile to see if they have already reviewed that particular product and are reviewing it twice for some freebies.
That's pretty smart CB, and thanks for showing concern about our reviews section!
This doesn't imply a SRC created these accounts though. Dupe accounts created are by a large margin owned by regular members, Karma and Promo whores.
Getting a hit from a search query like you did definitely confirms we got a fake review on our hands. Whether it's simply a lazy user, a fake account going for karma, SRC trying to climb the ranks, SRC trying to sabotage another SRC (yeah it's a thing) or a definite proof of a infinite monkey theorem, is up to further investigation.
StevebI was thinking it was going to be a different source with fake votes.
I usually do a quick google search anytime I see a review that looks a little too good.
Last Jan I helped Treadinontren find about a dozen fake ones from 3 now banned src's
It's a pretty easy way to catch a bull shit review.
See, like for me and I imagine it is similar for Monk and Greg we are trying to look at a bunch of reviews in a short amount of time so I don't think we are as likely to pick up similarities as easily. As soon as BFG gets on we will see how deep that operation runs.
I can tell by the list of Latest Reviews that you and MONK are quite busy looking at every review. I only look at a few, but that one caught my eye.
The google search function is full of surprises,
I often use if for images too, I've come across a guy that posted his tren cycle pics on BB.com in the "natty gains" thread, and another that posted pics of some semi pro bodybuilder as his own.( his user name was on that pro's instagram followers list)
Yea, we utilize the pic search if something looks suspicious. But truth is there is always something going on around here. The last two days we have been under a spammer onslaught. I lost count today but I have to be pushing 50 deleted accounts today alone and that is just me, I am sure Monk and Greg got a bunch too.
StevebAll you have to do is make it a requirement to have 2 karma points in order to make a post. That will end the spam and force new members to contribute on the boards before posting stupid forum topics.
Not my call to make bro. But I will say even with 2 karma their would be lots of guys and sources still trying to game the system.
StevebIt would definitely put a stop to the guy making 50 new accounts a day and posting spam. It will also stop new people from posting stupid shit.
Nice work as always CB.

Nice brother +1 from me!
Wow :-0 I just did the search !
Thanks for the intel !! Ur saving honest members a lot $$$ +1
Good job bro!
AnonI wonder if that source had anything to do with it... Or if it was the member putting up a false review to take part in some promo? Hmmmm
We will find out soon enough.
AnonBam
Good work brother +3
Edit
Did the search and just as you said.....
