Is it possible to post fake product feedback?

Like the title said, is it possible for a vendor to post fake fake on his on page to look more reliable?

For example, a vendor creates multiple buyer accounts, places an order with himself, and FE's in order to get his money back and to write a review about himself.

Is that possible?

Yes. All they need to do is use their coins to pay for the product then selves with fake accounts. finalize and then do it again. It is a small price to pay commission for positive feedback. They will and can also sell good product the first few orders to get the coinage to make personal buys from shill accounts they create. Then they will buy stuff from them selves using FE and give them selves FE positive feedback then require FE only and the scam is on. Research the vendors really well and ask about them in forums and look in forums for any feedback from other users.

Yes it si possible and it is used by some Vendors and Scammers since SR 1.0

these things are often closely watched anyway and if there are details too obvious in the log leading to think that it was fake feedback, admins usually reacts and ban the Vendor account.

So it has to be done smartly now i guess...

Yes it is possible. Which is why you should almost always check here and/or the forums to see what people have said about them.

Creating your own glowing reviews is trivial. All you need to do is sacrifice the fees you're going to pay to sell things to your sock puppets. Often you can tell though, the fake reviews are phrased as if they are the same person speaking.
