untrustworthy users also get into the trust list. The Feedbacks, ratings, scores, recommendations and any other information given by users are very important for the trust calculation. The users are interested in referring to the reviews of the users, in order to conceive their own trust and reputation on different products. By this reviews of the product it trusts the product and purchases it. However we must need to verify the reliability of reviews to ensure only genuine review is taken into consideration. So we need to identify misleading behaviours of dishonest or fake users. They will purposefully distract users into buying the products that are not qualified into an intended good category.

It is because some recommenders might have malicious intentions or not the required competence. When a user add other users to his trust list some fake users with high rating on products also get into the list and corrupt the rating prediction for the user. The ratings of fake users will be very different from actual ratings. It will reduce the accuracy of rating prediction system. Thus, we have to find out and to decide carefully whom we can trust. Users can’t always validate the trustworthiness of everyone providing recommendations.

Numerous techniques for recommendation generation have been proposed and during the last period many of them have been successfully deployed in ecommerce environments. Trust relations between the users have a great impact on the recommendation task. The trusted users can influence the rating of a product. Many of the products rating sites like epinion, ciao etc allow users to create their own trust list and block list.

Reputation systems are commonly used in online transactions but they are suffering from “all good reputation” problem. The high reputation score of every seller makes it difficult for the buyer’s to choose amongst them for the transaction. This paper [1] has proposed a reputation system combining the concepts of Natural Language Processing, Opinion Mining and Summarization. They have computed the reputation score and ranked the sellers. The reputation score is the weighted summation of criteria based reputation ratings for each seller. This combines the knowledge out of user ratings given in the form of five-star ratings and the opinions expressed in the form of reviews. This is able to solve “all good reputation” problem. Reputation is an estimation of the trust the community has built in you. It is a complex and context-dependent opinion of the community about any entity in question.
