Title: talking to a cop
Post by: Nemesis0914 on July 29, 2013, 04:10 pm
So as we know people cops patrol this site, so they can impersonate anyone. So I was thinking how reliable is the reviews on vendors pages. Is it possible for a vendor to fake reviews through some hack or something to make it look like he is credible. Let me know please people.

A vendor can potentially pad some of their feedback by owning an account that purchases listings from their vendor account. Or by having someone else do it. There should be no hack that can allow someone to do this outside of these possibilities. Usually SR support will find out about this type of padding pretty fast. If a vendor has many transactions you should be fine as I highly doubt a vendor could pad that many orders without getting caught.

They can get someone to pad their feedback? and orders. I find that pretty worrying. Also on the feedback page i dont see any name next to comments, so it could be the same person saying the same thing right?

No, the feedbacks without names do not mean it is the same person. Does this vendor have over 300 transactions? If he only has two and you are worried I would choose another vendor. It would be impossible for a vendor that has 100+ feedbacks to pad it that much.
