Can I ignore the first customer review when they've never given anything less than 5 stars for an amazon purchase? Seems fishy.

Did you notice they use the same phrase "I'm a sucker for..." in other reviews? Definitely a bogus reviewer:)

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....

I just check and see if they have other reviews, especially different types of products, my reviews are really random, lots of different products and categories. So find the review you find most relevant then check their other reviews and if they seem legitimate, then your probably safe. In the case of this product, I found several 5 star reviews very legitimate, I just ordered and will definitely give a review.

I'd like Amazon to take a look at this. These reviews are definitely fake, and this is completely unfair. It's probably a moot point since no one buys this product, but seriously - check this out!First of all, every single 5-star review - each person has ONLY REVIEWED THIS PRODUCT.Secondly, each five star review has NOTHING bad to say about the product. Usually, reviews have positive things to say, and at least one negative thing to say.

Amazon is not getting away with it, it's one of their partner sellers. Do you know and can you tell the difference? It's not difficult. How can people continue to not understand what they are looking at when you look at a product page and it says "Ships from and sold by C4DEALZ?" Is that Amazon? No, it's not, it's C4DEALZ. When you buy here you will notice that some will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", others will say "Ships from and sold by *some 3rd party seller*" and others will say "Sold by *some 3rd party seller* and Fulfilled by Amazon." The case with this at the moment is that Amazon apparently has no stock and our thoughtful friends at C4DEALZ see the opportunity to jack up the price by $100 or so and make money off the uninformed, especially in this case because even at that price it's less than buying 3 separate upgrades. Get informed. First clue, outrageous prices gouging the customer (for which Amazon actually should remove the seller as a partner) and you won't see it being available for Free SuperSaver shipping since only Amazon sold or fulfilled items are. In my case I have a gift certificate I'd like to use toward the purchase so I'm rather irritated they don't have stock but I'm not stupid enough to pay C4DEALZ gouging prices, or anyone's for that matter. Now I see that "The Toy Giant" has joined the parade of gouging sellers. They should all go on lists of sellers that we will never ever purchase from. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowing it, it reflects directly on Amazon.

I think Amazon has confused me with the person who sold a product on their site. I have never sold anything on any site. I have purchased a brand new computer through Amazon and encountered my own issues with its arrival and a lot of other issues. I truly wish that Amazon would get their facts and records straight. If I ever get another false email representing or stating that I sold a product on their site I WILL SUE THEM. This is ridiculous!!! Please check with Amazon again and let them know that this DEBORAH never sold anything on their website.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

WATCH out for these crooks. I had the exact same thing happen. They charged me IMMEDIATELY for this warranty yet my Amazon shipping status shows a delivery date of November 27. I cannot submit a negative review because "This item has not been released yet and is not eligible to be reviewed."I contacted Amazon and demanded a refund. I am supposed to have my refund within 3-5 business days. Funny, it took less than one day for them to charge me. Perhaps they are in financial difficulty?Avoid purchasing this product until you have your device.

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

Amazon doesn't proactively police its reviews (that I know of), but you can. Click the "Report Abuse" button next to the review and express your concern. That should get a moderator's attention.

Check if these are verified purchases. Whether they are or not, consider my review. Anyone can purchase and leave feedback. Would anyone want to do this for a product that had negative reviews? I couldn't even get my first 3 reviews of this item to post. They were my honest opinion of the item. They were written in a clear and concise manner with no objectionable language. Each review I tried to submit was negative, finally just choose 1 star and a few words just to get it posted so others would know I was not happy with the purchase. Use your best judgement.

I'm glad Amazon has transparency factors, such as "verified purchase" and "see my other reviews" to help discern legitimate reviews from possible phony reviews. If you peek under the covers, many of these stellar reviews appear suspicious.

Amazon needs to provide this info. Relying on past customers is the 'new' way of doing business without really working for it. Sound politically familiar? Go to the mfg and source your answer, amazon is not it.

The only reviews I pay attention to are 1) Verified buyers or 2) Those who very obviously have bought the product and are reviewing it here for benefit of other users. If there is a questionable review, just check the "reviewer ranking" to see how often they review on Amazon. I usually tend to pay more attention to the top 10k reviewers (if someone is in the 15 million area and their review fishy... you can probably ignore them for the time being.) ; )

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.

Your guess is as good as mine. People probably just don't want to take the time. I think Amazon sends requests to all buyers.
