I must confess it is a bit disturbing to have the company president tracking down bad reviewers in the company database! Rather chilling and kind of Orwellian, don't you think? Also, your statement that OMyGarden has a near perfect record of customer satisfaction is wildly incorrect - on eBay, you have only a 97.2% rating (even mine is 99.2) and on Amazon a whopping 11% left negative feedback, with another 6% leaving only neutral feedback. This does not reflect an acceptable level of customer satisfaction. Perhaps ypur time would be better specnt improving your product and shaping up your customer service department than trolling the web looking for bad reviews and seeking out the reviewers.

Thank you, Travis. Many reviews do look fake -- how can a no name brand get 75 reviews in only 2 months of product launch? Anyway, since I've already bought it, I'll keep trying. Appreciate your tips, though.

It may have been true when you wrote it that none of the five-star reviewers had done any other reviews before, but that's certainly not now, though it's less than two weeks later. But that was never evidence that the 5-star reviews were fake, anyway. I understand why someone would be skeptical of such an iinexpensive product, but I do wonder how you could be so confident that this is a scam without having any direct experience with the product.

It's obvious that many of the possitive reviews are placed on the product by the salesmen of the product. This stuff really shoots the credibility of Amazon's feedback- that in many cases is extremely helpful.

This makes me suspicious that they are fake reviews.When a product has so many positive reviews like this and they are simple reviews, 99% of the time if not 100% they are faked.

I suppose it's their convincing advertising. Also the assumption that Amazon sells quality products. Amazon should read reviews and respond accordingly. We threw good money away on this purchase.

First, did you notice that ever since you posted this the FAKE reviewers started posting reviews of various stars because you pointed out a flaw in their obvious plan to flood this market with fake reviews?! Also, there is no mention of where the pan comes from but it seems like China with all the fake Asian reviewers on here. Why doesn't Amazon look into this and get rid of their products? I wouldn't trust their products or their company for anything!

Absolutely correct. All of the reviews that are good reviews are fake. When people like myself "Amazon verified purchase" has reviewed this company, all have been poor which it is a poor product. Also, beware of the few "Amazon verified purchases" sprinkled in there who also reviewed another Eden Pond Lab product "Eden Pond Labs Garcinia Cambogia, 500 mg per Capsule, 200 Capsules per Bottle (Serving size of 4 capsules provides 2000 mg)". They are all fake! See my review on Jan 4, 2014 and purchase at your own risk. Eden Pond even tried to comment on my review in some sort of damage control effort. What a joke of a company!

I saw that too, and I think it was just an accident by the Reviewer. BUT - Anyone who reads the review will SEE that it is an error because the customer was quite pleased and very enthusiastic about buying more. Sometimes mistakes happen - and I think that's the situation here. But the overwhelming positive opinions will prevail. This is a popular item.

One of the first three posted reviews is a verified purchase, so that one might be credible. The fourth review was a one star review which was the first negative one posted.

Is it appropriate to write a review to point out that other reviews are fake? Like this, for example: http://www.amazon.com/review/RVB2G6BM1FZ0C/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005A3RUPU&nodeID;=&tag;=&linkCode;= . I put 5 in the one above to avoid changing the rating average. But DaveCt is right; unless people bother reading the full review, my putting 5 stars is actually worth the same (as far as the star average rating goes) as the other and obviously fake reviews.so, what star rating would/should/do you give?

Hi Scott, I reviewed this product and if you look you can see I reviewed a wide variety of items I purchased through amazon including 3 different brands of this product. Some of the products I loved. Some I hated and some were just ok. I assure you I don`t work for this sellar or any of the others.

How do you know that this is fake and paid for reviews? Do you have any proof to back this up? I would be very interested, as I ordered this product and hate to waste money on products due to the reviews. Why would Amazon let this happen and Dr, Oz? I need to hear more about this.

Same feeling here. I have never seen a product with 93 5-star reviews and only 1 one negative, 1-star. Nothing in-between. Seriously??? Plus a number of people have mainly Ozeri reviews. Plus all these reviews are extremely frequent: one every few days. What are the chances???

You gotta watch what seller it's from. Amazon sometimes just like lumps all the reviews into one product page. If it ships from China, it's probably a bootleg. If it's from Japan, it's probably legit.

I wonder that too, looks like many of the reviews could be fake or people from the company. They only have 1 review and it happens to be this product....
