Show HN: FakeScan – AI fake review detector (Fakespot is dying)

1 points| crawde | 3 days ago |fakescan.site

With Fakespot shutting down (Mozilla killing it July 2025) and ReviewMeta returning 522 errors, there's a gap in consumer fake review detection.

FakeScan analyzes Amazon product reviews using AI to give you a trust score 0-100. It looks at review timing patterns, star distribution anomalies, reviewer behavior, and linguistic red flags.

How it works: paste an Amazon product URL → we scrape the publicly available review data (star histogram, visible reviews) → Llama 3.3 70B analyzes the patterns → you get a trust score with specific red flags called out.

No extension required, works in any browser. 3 free scans per day.

Built as a solo project. Would love feedback on accuracy and what other platforms you'd want supported.

Is llama 3.3 enough? I think Gemini better
