A helpful tool I recommend for buying from common outlets online is Fakespot [1]. It scans the reviews and looks for suspicious/fake reviews & other telltale signs of deceit. Mozilla recently acquired it, but you can scan Amazon URLs on their website, and they have a very helpful browser addon. There was a similar tool I used to double check called ReviewMeta, but they seem to be offline. It's not a 100% foolproof way to determine if a vendor or product is fake, but it is helpful. There are some other things you can do to double check things as well.
