I used Fakespot constantly before it shut down. It became part of my normal browsing flow whenever I was buying something on Amazon because fake reviews have gotten completely out of control.
I ended up building a tool called FakeFind because I wanted something lightweight that focused on those same kinds of behavioral patterns. You paste an Amazon link and it generates a Trust Score + adjusted rating based on review activity and repetition patterns.

Curious what other former Fakespot users here have switched to since it disappeared.

I kept running into the same issue: buying products with thousands of positive reviews that turned out to be complete junk. After digging into enough listings, I realized the manipulation usually shows up in patterns, review timing spikes, repeated wording, listing hijacks, etc.

So I built FakeFind.

You paste an Amazon product link and it:

• Analyzes review timing and repetition
• Flags suspicious reviewer behavior
• Detects potential listing merges/hijacks
• Generates a Trust Score + adjusted rating

The goal was to make something fast and simple that helps answer: “Do these reviews actually look trustworthy?”

Would genuinely appreciate feedback on:

• Clarity
• Whether the Trust Score makes sense
• Features you’d want in a tool like this
• Anything confusing or broken

Would love to hear what you think.

I’ve noticed a pattern lately with a lot of Amazon products. They have amazing reviews, I buy them, and then the product shows up and feels like something from a gas station clearance bin.

When you actually dig into the reviews, a lot of them follow the same patterns:

Short generic praise
Repeated wording across accounts
Huge bursts of 5-star reviews within days
Reviews that don’t even match the product anymore because of listing merges

The frustrating part is that none of this is obvious at first glance. The whole system is built around making the rating look trustworthy.

I got tired of manually trying to figure out which listings were manipulated, so I built Fakefind. You paste an Amazon link and it analyzes review timing, repetition, and reviewer behavior to generate a Trust Score and adjusted rating.

At this point, checking the reviews alone just doesn’t cut it anymore.

I built a simple Amazon Review Checker called Fakefind!

Would love feedback on:
-Is this something you would actually use?
-Does it do a good job of solving the issue?
-Anything that feels confusing or missing

Trying to keep it simple and actually useful.
