Then I select all reviews and look for situations where shills are

descriptive language that will make me conclude it's a fake review.

I've been caught in that exact same situation, only I lost.

Amazon had 100+ five-star reviews, witha nary a single negative.
Turns out the item was junk and I re-evaluated those positive reviews
and finally noticed they all used similar terms to describe the item.
This after being a Prime member fer a couple yrs. Fortunately, I
spent less than $20 on this particular Amazon scam.
