Recently, the Changzhou market supervision department investigated and dealt with an illegal online store.
The online shop has inflated sales and praise of products by checking orders and speculating letters.
Black pork only sold one item, but 637 user reviews; free-range ducks sold 63 items, but 740 reviews.
After investigation, this online store applies user reviews of products that have already been removed to new products, thereby inflating thousands of reviews, which is an act of scrutinizing orders.
These fake reviews and fake sales were suspected of deceiving and misleading consumers, affecting consumers' correct judgment and choice of goods, and suspected of unfair competition. The parties were fined 200,000 yuan by the Changzhou New North District Market Supervision Bureau.
