[PSA] More fake Sephora reviews?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I recently picked up a Four Sigmatic supplement marketed toward skincare based off the glowing reviews and was not impressed by it. I decided to look through their other products and see what was so great about them.I specifically went through their matcha tea, matcha latte, lemonade, and golden latte on Sephora.com and found that the same pool of users was responsible for nearly all the reviews. I cross-referenced the user names to their ‘team” section on their website, and there are a few insta handles that are obviously the same. Every person (except one, who also reviewed a KVD liquid lip) in the user pool only reviewed Four Sigmatic products, and the oldest account was made on 7/6/2018.The matcha tea has 28 reviews total and 24 are from the pool. The lemonade has six reviews total and five are from the pool. The golden latte has 18 reviews total with 17 from the pool. Lastly the matcha latte has 19 reviews with 18 from the pool, with 15 being posted on September 20.I know Sephora responded to the Sunday Riley problem by saying they have teams to look for this stuff, but it’s clearly going unnoticed. It's extremely unlikely that so many new users made accounts just to review one brand.I’m pissed that I was deceived by the fake reviews and wanted to let other skincare addicts know. Feel free to look at the ugliest google doc I have ever slapped together below. Mods: if I'm breaking any rules please let me know.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DZbA6oMoccUJtRe4aajXAuvbkKCf1he1as_1imiFckI/edit?usp=sharing​​
