how do i tell if someone's feedback is faked?

is it possible to check if a vendor has fake feedback?

or is it just a rule of thumb to never buy from someone if it seems to good to be true?

for example this guy: http://agorabasakxmewww.onion/vendor/SafeShop#

insanely good prices, generic feedback. sketchy but idk

Look for reviews in places other than agora. Look at the reviews on agora. How are they worded? do they seem unique? Are there buyers with lots of orders under their belt, or are they all 1-2? Are there a bunch of "FE"? feedback? because if someone is idiotic enough to FE (because FE is for fools) they don't have to give feedback when they do so, they can wait till they get scammed. How does your gut feel? Are the offers far too good to be true?

Yeah, this seller looks sketchy. Doesn't mean he is, but I certainly wouldn't buy, at least not at the moment. Then again, I don't do trade with FE sellers because most of them scam- that he doesn't mention FE but a lot of his sales have it in feedback is a red flag too.

Faked feedback seems to have one accent. Also, if you see feedback stating that "it got here to Australia in only 8 days" and the vendor has only been a vendor for 5 days, its clearly faked.

Vendors can do hidden listings. They could take an expensive item, list it here cheap,. buy a load themselves, write their own reviews, then jack the price up to normal before "unhiding" it.

Asking you to FE is a good indicator. We have never asked anybody to FE, and we never will. Sometimes WE FE for the customer if they're waiting for slow bitcoins or they're unsure about us. Why should the customer finalize early? When they order, we can see their bitcoin in escrow. We know they're good for it

Scammers always have loads on their profile about their refund policy. It implies a lot of people won't get their order, plus its not up to them if you don't receive your order. The admins are paid their commision to arbitrate the escrow.

Look for anything that even mentions FE like "always FE for trusted vendor".

Usually all the reviews will sound the same and most of them will be something like "FE and best vendor". The reviews will all basically be trying to tell you to FE. That is my exp. But that dude safeshop looks like he started that account and before he was Safe_shop and someone called him out on selling fake pills, but he did have some kind of internet war going with another vendor but who knows. The rule of thumb is; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Just post on the forum asking for a reputable vendor, the longtime members that come forward and say something should be trusted. The dude with the new account who uses his first post to tell you what vendor should be a red flag.
