Check out the 1-star ratings of this and other products by Everpure. Many shoppers have caught them redhanded at writing bogus reviews! Integrity is clearly not this company's strongest suit. Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised if they re-sell used products that have been returned. I personally will steer clear of buying anything that affects my health from such a shady seller.

I KNOW right?!? What has been happening to Amazon lately? More than half of the reviews I read seem to be "fake"! This really makes me feel nervous about buying the products because if companies have to pay people to leave fake reviews, its says something about their integrity, and probably about the quality of the product too...

I, too, bought it based on the rave reviews. Add me to the list of those who question the veracity of many of them. For such a simple product, it's one of the most disappointing purchases I've made. I can't see it scoring so high. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the 5 star reviews are fake. All I know is I would never, ever, buy it again.

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.

YES! This was part of my review that Amazon deemed inappropriate! It is a junker! Send it back!

BUYER BEWARE!! This company gives free product to people willing to write five-star reviews and gives them more free products as long as they keep up with the scam!!!!! I was one of their reviewers (this once). I ordered the free product and because somebody else with the same name wrote a review that was negative (wasn't me), the company (actually James Armstrong at salesmarketingmanager@hotmail.com) wrote me a very nasty email and said they wouldn't give me anything else because my review was negative. If you want free products from the company, you have to write positive reviews of products whether you like them or not!!!! Wonder how they have so many five star reviews in such a short time?!?! It's because they're conning people into writing them! I wrote the company and told them to keep their "free" products!!! I wouldn't give this company one cent of my money!!!! If anybody wants screenshots of the messages between James and myself, message me!! I've set up a new email address for this: scamwatchers2014@hotmail.com. I will send you all of the information that you need to see that I am legitimate. Stay away. Seriously. Just buy somebody else's product. Not this company!!! There's no telling what they're selling you and most of the reviews are bull-- just people wanting free stuff and writing reviews. This is the one that they start you out at. You have to review this product before they will send you other codes for free product. That's why it has so many great reviews.

There are many people that write deceiving reviews. Some are being paid and some are getting free product. For instance a person that gives 5-star reviews for three like products from three different companies the same day or within a couple of days. Saying for each, "nothing worked until I tried this". Also a variety of different products. It can take up are lot of time to do this research. Check the other $100's of various products reviewed at the same time. I have written down the names of 14 people that reviewed the same items around the same time, saying about the same thing. But not giving info that is significant.

I am definitely thinking the same thing; I posted a not very positive review a couple of days ago, and within hours tons of 5 star reviews popped up and my two star review went back to page two or three. I think that somebody (or bodies) are playing us for stupid. lol

Return it and get your money back as I did and write a review that you are not satisfied&gt; I was surprised they will bargain you to remove your review to get 5 star and give you some amount. They will force you to get it. Lol...You cant say "No" though...

No is my answer. This guys are a great disappointment. Amazon should do something about them to stop this deceit.

These sellers are just scam artists trying to make a quick buck on what they like to call supply and demand. The reality is that Amazon falsely misleads consumers into thinking that the price they see is a good deal. In this case, they have a fictitious list price of $49.99 to make the sucker think he/she is getting a good deal when in fact, it's been overly inflated almost 200%. If this thing actually cost these sellers more than $10, I would be surprised. To make matters worse, they charge you extra for shipping (it's not even Amazon Prime). Buyer Beware!!!!

I just wanted to warn people. After I saw the post by "Internet Shopper" I did some quick background reasearch on basics4home (the person/company selling the TV for $1649). On Ebay the guy/company got a lot of negative comments recently - check this out http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid;=basics4home&ftab;=AllFeedback.So be warnwed - I would have been tempted - but the feedback about him being a potential scamster puts me off.

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.

I see this stuff all the time, makes me mad. I think the purpose is to make it look like you are getting a huge discount and a really great deal by showing the suggested retail price, which no one ever really pays in real life, against the selling price. It's a gimmick I am sure. Be smart people, when you see stuff like that, it may not always be as big a bargin as it appears to be. Having said that, I did purchase one for a gift so we shall see if it is even worth the $24.99.

If you check ResellerRatings.com, quite a few people have accused this vendor of scamming them. The reviews seem to fall into two groups: "they're scammers" and "they're perfect". The simple fact is that you're never going to find a legitimate dealer selling these popular cameras for substantially less than everyone else. But you WILL find plenty of scam shops offering low prices to suck you into a bait-and-switch scheme. Stick to spending your hard earned money at honest sellers like Amazon, B&H; Photo and Adorama.
