That article says the fake reviews are for Mechanical Turk -- it's unclear if they were reviews that were actually approved by a scammer, or if the researcher's just said "write me a fake review". There's a huge chance that their synthetic fake reviews don't resemble real deceptive reviews.
Also, the "real" reviews were just pulled from a site, without any research to verify their authenticity.
The article might not be the best (it wasn't the one I read a year or so ago), just a similar article I could find quickly. I don't think the original article was much better though =)
