Ubervita W700 Thermogenic Hyper-Metabolizer Fraudulent Sales Practices on Amazon, Massive Amounts of Fake Reviews Internet

I ordered this product 4 weeks ago on Amazon.com. I have tried many different products before, so I would consider myself someone that can tell apart an effective product from a useless one. Let’s just say I felt absolutely nothing and saw no results taking this one. After a few weeks, it started to make me somewhat suspicious, especially seeing all the positive reviews, so I decided to look into it. See my findings below:

Besides the fact that the product page makes false claims (like many other supplement companies – no real surprise there!), there is an evident scheme being run by the company to fraudulently exploit the Amazon ecosystem. Let’s see why this is the case.

Upon closer inspection of Ubervita W700 Thermogenic Hyper Metabolizer, it becomes obvious that the company is flooding Amazon with fraudulent 4 and 5 star customer reviews to increase the product’s ranking and sales. The company is also doing it very fast and is obviously not shy about adding this many fake reviews every day – the fraud is screaming from their detail page – and whenever a real reviewer comes in to complain about the fraud he is immediately offered a full discount (to shut them up).

I am very surprised that Amazon has even allowed such a product to become the #1 best-seller.

Here are some of the obvious signs of the scam:

The most obvious is their reviews. It’s almost comical: the number of reviews for Ubervita W700 Thermogenic Hyper Metabolizer has increased from 0 to 800+ in a matter of 3 months. Reviews come in bursts: it is not uncommon for this product to get 30-40-50 reviews in one single day. The vast majority of these reviews are 5 star reviews, which are obvious scams: they are all condensed (approximately the same length, same style, and saying exactly the same things) and most are first-time reviews from users who never left another review before. Look at these examples:

.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2ITZLIB49RJUZ/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview

amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/AFNHW2MQYO20O/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview

The majority of 1 and 2 star reviews on the other hand come from people who have extensive review histories – these are the real reviews. As mentioned above as well: the company quickly reacts to those people by offering them a refund to silence them.

Second, the company is virtually non-existent: Ubervita appears to have absolutely no standing in the industry and up until now has only sold products on Amazon. The company has no history or presence in the press, nor on social media, nor any other platform or medium.

Finally and most importantly, their ingreidents: the dosing of the ingredients is hidden behind a proprietary blend. Nevertheless, Caffeine is the ingredient with the highest presence; this is of course a very cheap ingredient and in contrast with the grandiose (but sadly false!) product claims (example: “Most powerful and trusted Thermogenic Diet Pill in the industry”, “Fat Burner used by elite professional athletes”, “offers a formulation of elements that are scientifically recognized to increase the body’s metabolism”). For me, this is another proof that this product is simply made to scam people.

I was actually highly surprised that Amazon didn’t catch this scam so far, especially that this product is now #1 best-seller in its category on their platform. It makes one wonder about the role of big corporations such Amazon in protecting the unsuspecting consumer.

It remains to be seen how long they manage to perpetuate this scam. In the meanwhile, I would advise anyone who reads this to steer clear of Ubervita’s W700 Thermogenic Hyper Metabolizer and all their other products which are being sold leveraging the same scam.
