  1. Correction: I was unaware that the brand FunWares reached out to a member of my team located in the United States. That member asked to have the items sent to me, but since I did not have any direct contact with Funwares, neither myself, the UK team, nor my family knew where these had come from. The brand did not just send it out of nowhere. Further, I am not alleging the brand paid for any fake reviews. The miscommunication prompted the investigation into this topic, but I do not believe that FunWares fakes its user reviews or pays for any user reviews. As stated in the video I enjoyed using the product and make no representations or believe that the company has done anything wrong or misleading – that said, it doesn’t change the fact that these types of scams are very prevalent online!

  2. Amazon is convenient for some things, but if you are able to purchase a product from an actual store, you should always do so. That way you can interact with customer service in person and have a better overall experience if there is an issue with the product.

  3. Let me tell ya Mrwhosetheboss, this Amazon kindle fire tablet just restricted my access to my own photos, I can access all my old videos on this thing, but it only lets me access 10 photos, all from 2024, I want to access my stuff from like 2020 or 2021.

  4. So if you use surfshark, to protect your digital details, how did you receive the ghost package implying your data has indeed got leaked. Then what is the role of surfshark to keep your data safe, if you have been using it already, as you affirmed during the sponsor message part of the video? Just curious

  5. I once bought a drone, and it was not steerable. I kept trying but it was not my fault, at the end it crashed into the wall and damaged the wall. I kept pushing the emergency stop, but the emergency stop bottom didn't work. It kept cutting into the wall. So I wrote the truth on Amazon reviews that people should buy another drone because this one is really dangerous (The propeller blades were very hard, big drone, and might damage fingers). Comment was removed because it violates community standards. Since then I don't write reviews anymore, they only want positive reviews and it doesn't reflect reality then

  6. Anyone notice how bad customer service in Canada is now? Cant find any help what’s so ever. Their AI crap just keeps looping you back. Absolutely disgusting. They should change their name to AMASHIT!

  7. At least 1/4 of the things i get from Amazon have a card in it that says they will give you a $20 Amazon gift card in exchange for a 5 start review. Some of the things cost less than $20 to buy.

  8. Please help, I am low income but have an Amazon card because I have agoraphobia, Amazon will not post my bad reviews. I have a email with there reasoning for not posting it. It's $26 but that is a lot to me. Amazon wants me to take my purchase to Staples (I can't) or pay to return it. I'll go into more detail if interested, I have pictures and emails.

  9. Amazon Vine reviews are also worthless. If you notice, almost all of those reviews are five star (at worst, 4 star) because they don’t want vine reviewers that give negative reviews.

  10. To say never trust reviews is wrong. Recently I bought a wireless dongle to use for my Android Auto. It worked great. So easy plug and play, just connect the bluetooth the first time to set it up, then everytime I get in my car and start it up it recognized it and turns wireless Android Auto on. It was only like $25. So I gave it a 5 star review. I seldom review things on Amazon that I buy unless it's amazing. Less than 1 out of 50 items I buy gets a review, I mostly review when It's bad. So here it the kicker the company sent me a postcard, after the review offering me $15 to show them that I had left a good review by emailing them a screenshot and they sent the money to my Paypal.

    I also read the bad reviews and if an item has a lot of problems I avoid it, another reason you should trust the reviews.

  11. Amazon will permanently block you from posting reviews (or even asking questions on item) unless they are all positive; they blocked mine few years back as apparently I wrote too many negative reviews (I probably wrote 60% positive meaning 3 stars or above and 40% 1 or 2 stars; off course they didn't phrase it like that they used some other terms such as that I was breaking some community rule or whatever till today cannot comment not that I want to but shows you the monopoly.

  12. Very difficult to write negative reviews or critique on amazon they block you unless you use certain words; similar to New York Times very difficult to criticize in comment section Israel and its policies they will block you other media too

  13. I never look at 5 star reviews of anything they are complete bull i also am skeptical of 1 star reviews as they can be people with an axe to grind so no mstter who you deal with walk into it with your eyes open.

  14. I can't remember how many times I've been contacted by chinese sellers after making a purchase to be offered a full refund of the product (refund paid via paypal) for a good product review on Amazon!! It's mostly chinese sellers such as Choetech or other brands who do that and especially in the first month of advertising a new product.
    Everyone is paid on amazon to leave reviews, you can't trust anything you read except for the bad reviews!!!

  15. My wife uses kindle fairly regularly. If she sees a book she fancies reading she points it out to me and I purchase it on my account on her kindle, it’s a bit of a faff and the wife is a technophobe so imagine my surprise when when I received a notification recently for the purchase of a particular book that is in the genre my wife likes. I thought what a cheek she’s now buying books on her own initiative, but when I asked about the purchase she had no idea what I was talking about, neither of us had gone through the faff of buying the book, I did get a quick refund but what the hell🤔🤔🤔

  16. I usually sort Amazon reviews by their most recent ones, and I avoid any review that refers to the product itself by an either too vague or too detailed description (e.g. "this product" or "this Asus 17inch RTX 4070 16gb RAM laptop," like for real, who talks like that?). Never, ever, ever sort your reviews by "most helpful." Those reviews are more helpful to the seller than they are to you….
