The "5 star" Amazon review that was obviously a bot
Read a review for a camping stove that said 'This product is perfect for my needs and I would recommend it to anyone'. Sounded super generic but the kicker was they mentioned using it in 'an office setting'. Looked up the profile and they had 47 reviews all with the same style, all 5 stars, all mentioning unrelated places. I almost bought the stove anyway until I noticed the pattern. Has anyone else caught a clearly fake review saving them from a bad purchase?

The office setting detail is what kills me. It's such a weirdly specific yet completely useless insert, like the bot pulled it from a random word list. But the real tell is the math never works out. 47 reviews, all 5 stars, across camping gear, kitchen knives, and phone chargers. No human has that much luck with random products.
