Paid reviews are not worth it.

Hello purchasers, at a point we all purchase gadgets, books, hotel rooms, etc., by reading opinions of other people who used that product. But sometime you get tricked by paid reviews. Now you will think what are paidreviews?

Here is your answer. Paid reviews are those reviews which are given by people like great writers, critics and normal people who just want money .Company pay them to write appealing reviews about their products.

So, those who purchase products by reading reviews can easily trust them and buy their products. But in my opinion don’t trust all reviews and don’t ignore all reviews, follow those reviews which you think are genuine. And try to test the product and make your own review.

NOTE: Don’t waste money just because the review said it is a great product. Or ignore product because it says worst product ever.

There are many more things like paid reviews phishing, false advertisement and wrong data. I know you will wonder now what these terms are.

Phishing

This somehow very similar to real life fishing, they use some fake e-mails as bait and you are the fish here. In phishing you the person get an e-mail, text or any other type of message that he/she won a big amount, or product for free or through some lottery, then they will request the person to send his/her personal details like Name, address, phone numbers or even your bank account number to claim his/her prize. Once the person contacts them (the fish is in the net.) Then they will ask for small amount of money to pass the “shipping charges” or any other any “legal formalities”. When person paid the price there is nothing can bring the money which is given by the person himself. Here is an example e-mail.

False Advertisement

It is another technique to lose your money. Some advertisement tells you more than enough about the product; use your resources to get more information about that product. If you spent more time on internet you surely faced a false advertisement that tells you to click here to win money or your computer running slow please click here. Once you clicked that a pop-up window open or any software starts to download. If you open that software it can be a malware or Trojan horse virus which can delete corrupt and even crash your computer. So, keep your eyes open for that. Or when you open that popped-up window you are directed to a shopping site.

Wrong data        

Remember everything on internet is not true. Even Wikipedia make mistakes because there are articles are written by people like me and you. And sometimes we can be wrong from actual figures. Try to use the real resources as much as possible.

I hope next time you will be aware of these things and help your friends by sharing this post.
