ABSTRACT

More users prefer to post their reviews for the products for sharing their opinions. These
reviews play a vital role in helping other consumers to buy products. There is a higher chance
of getting fake reviews for either promoting or demoting a particular product or brand. Hence
detection of fake reviews is necessary.

In order to detect fake reviews, suspicious time interval of occurrence of fake reviews is
determined using algorithm. The reviews obtained at this time interval is very large. And all
the reviews at this time interval will not be fake as review count may increase due to seasonal
sale. To extract fake reviews among them detection metrics are applied. After detecting the
suspicious time interval, the detection metrics like context similarity, author's activeness,
author's rating behaviour are used. Including these detection metrics review attributes like
reviewer ID, date, product name are used. The spam score value of the reviewer is used for
detecting spammers. This helps in detecting fake reviews with more accuracy and provides
valid reviews for consumers for purchasing a product.

KEY WORDS: Fake Review, Spam, Suspicious interval detection
