[Objective] Based on the user-review-shop (URS) and the fake degree relationship, this paper proposes a model based on user deviation, aiming to effectively identify fake accounts. [Methods] First, we measured the user’s deviations of contents and behaviors with the means method, JS divergence and KL divergence respectively. Then, we constructed the URS-FDIRM model to identify fake users with experimental data from mafengwo.com. [Results] The proposed models effectively measured the user’s deviations of contents and behaviors. The F1 value of URS-FDIRM model reached 92.57%. [Limitations] This method mainly uses the conventional measurements to extract the deviation index and did not include more deviation measurements with user behaviors. [Conclusions] The proposed method could help us reveal the false relationship among users, reviews and shops, and monitor abnormal user behaviors.
