A fake review checker for Flipkart.

1. Add FakeCatch to Chrome on a computer. There is no account to create.
2. Open a Flipkart product page. The reviews shown under the product get badges by themselves.
3. Click “All reviews” to see the full list; every review on that page is scored too, as you scroll.
4. Click the FakeCatch icon to see how many reviews look suspicious, and the star average from only the believable ones.
5. Read the green ones first, and treat a page full of red as a reason to look at another seller or product.

• Green: specific, believable detail of use, the way a real buyer writes.
• Amber: generic praise that could be anyone. Common in honest reviews, so it means “read the others”, not “fake”.
• Red: ad-like or templated text, a review that mentions a reward for writing it, or a review of a different product.
• Grey, “Too short to judge”: one-liners such as “Nice product”. Flipkart has a lot of these, and guessing at them would be unfair to honest buyers.

A short Flipkart-style review, “Very good product, nice quality, value for money. Thank you seller, delivered on time. Must buy.”, scored Trust 25%, amber, for generic praise: nothing in it says the writer used the product. A review that reads like the listing (“premium, best for gym, office and travel, perfect gift”) scored 0%, red. One that describes a night of use, and a flaw, scored 100%, green.

Indian shoppers write reviews in every kind of English, often mixed with Hindi or other languages. FakeCatch is told explicitly that informal, non-native or grammatically imperfect English is not a sign of a fake review, and it scores what is said rather than how polished it is. It is most accurate on reviews written mainly in English.

• It reads like the product listing: brand name, model number and a list of features, with no sign of use.
• Five stars and only generic praise, with nothing specific to this product.
• It mentions a free product, cashback, a refund or a discount in exchange for the review.
• It is about a different product altogether, a sign the listing has been reused.
• Many reviews on the page share the same phrases or the same shape.
