Don’t shutdown Fakespot

I just learned of Fakespot and then disappointed to learn your shutting it down. I read that 10%-60% of items on Amazon are fake, it’s shocking! As consumers, how are we to protect ourselves? Enter Fakespot, a method to assess the integrity of an item. I think many people would gladly pay for a subscription to Fakespot. Please consider keeping this valuable service. From what I’ve read, many people rely on Fakespot for how their hard-earned dollars are spent. As I said, I just learned of the service and planned to download the app, then saw the notice of it being shutdown July 1st. So disappointed, please don’t shut it down!

Totally agree — Fakespot helped a lot of people make smarter choices online. With fake reviews and scams still everywhere, shoppers need a way to see what’s real.

We built FakeFind for this exact reason. It’s free, browser-based, and checks reviews on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and more using AI.

Like many I was upset with FakeSpot shutting down. I particularly liked the extension integration. I couldn't find an alternative that I liked so I built my own!
