Monitoring and Deleting Fake Reviews of
Online Products
1) Background/ Problem Statement
Online reviews have become increasingly significant in recent years

when it comes to purchasing decisions. This is so that buyers can learn
a lot of important information about the products or services from
these reviews. Spammers, however, may fabricate and create false
reviews in order to promote falsely or reduce the quality of the goods
or services. Customers would be misled and make poor decisions as a
result of the spammers' actions. Consequently, identifying fake (spam)
reviews is a major issue.
To ensure the credibility of the reviews posted on a platform, it is
important to use a strong detecting model. Our Monitoring and
Deleting Fake Reviews of Online Products System is designed to save
efforts and time by helping users identify spam reviews from different
opinions quickly and also help in purchasing valuable products from a
trustworthy site.
2) Working of the Project
This Python-based project is designed to help businesses monitor and

delete fake product reviews of online products. It has two modules,
including Admin and User. The admin can view the details of the user.
They can also view the product details along with their reviews. They
have the access to delete fake reviews.
To log into the system, the user would need to register first. After
registering successfully, the user can log in using their credentials. They
can browse the products they want to buy. They add the desired
products to their cart. To proceed with buying the product, the user has
to make the payment. They can also leave a review whether they liked
the product or not.
To find out if the review is fake or genuine, the system will find out the
IP address of the user. If the system observes a fake review sent by the
same IP Address many times, it will inform the admin to remove that
review from the system.
In this project, the front end involves Html, CSS and JavaScript and the
back end involves Python. The Database used in MySQL Database and
Django is used for the framework.
3) Advantages
The system is easy to maintain.

The user gets genuine reviews about the product.
User can post their own review about the product.
Users can spend money on valuable products.
4) System Description
The system comprises 2 major modules with their sub-modules as

follows:
 Admin:
 View users:
The admin can view all users in the system.
 View products:
The admin can view the details of every product.
They can also view product reviews.
If the system detects a fake review, the admin can delete
that particular review.
 User:
 Register:
The user will need to register first to log into the system.
 Login:
After registering, the user can log in using their credentials.
 View Product:
The user can browse through the products and can view the
details of each product.
 Add To Cart:
The user can add the product they want to buy to their cart.
 Payment:
The user can make the payment to proceed with the
purchase.
 Give Review:
The user can also leave a review about the products.
5) Project Life Cycle
The waterfall model is a classical model used in the system

development life cycle to create a system with a linear and sequential
approach. It is termed a waterfall because the model develops
systematically from one phase to another in a downward fashion. The
waterfall approach does not define the process to go back to the
previous phase to handle changes in requirements. The waterfall
approach is the earliest approach that was used for software
development.
6) System Requirements
I. Hardware Requirement
i. Laptop or PC
 Windows 7 or higher
 I3 processor system or higher
 4 GB RAM or higher
 100 GB ROM or higher
II. Software Requirement
ii. Laptop or PC
 Python
 Sublime Text Editor
 XAMP Server
7) Limitations/Disadvantages
The system can sometimes produce inaccurate results.
8) Application –
The system is designed to help monitor, analyse, and delete

fake product reviews of online products to help buyers make
a well-informed decision.
