couple years ago spotted shill reviews on SP and LZD when it comes to furniture (tv console , shelf racks , home gym equipment ) .... their seller thinks it's necessary to pad the listing with 20-100 reviews to jumpstart the buying appetite instead of waste time 0 sale data

I saw the projector sellers at pdd doing the same and even more outrageous
the review images are AI generated , living room with no personal items .... the projector screen on wall is perfect rectangle with black frame , the media content is vibrant color like TV screen ....... the AI cannot understand what is projected image on wall ........ less than 10% are real buyer photo

Really dunno WTF is there to worry about. Supermarkets like NTUC and Sheng Shiong also bring in china brand stuff en masse to sell. So its either you buy at marked up prices from local retailers or save truckloads getting directly from china platforms.
As I mentioned in other threads before, I noticed some local furniture shops selling items imported from TB at prices 3 or 4 times higher than in TB. Because they import TB, they expect buyers to wait 2 to 3 months to receive their goods.
