Concerning the problem that how to detect spammer groups writing fake reviews on the e-commerce platforms, a Weighted reviewer Graph based Spammer group detection Algorithm (WGSA) was proposed. Firstly, a weighted reviewer graph was built based on the co-reviewing feature with the weight calculated by a series of group spam indicators. Then, a threshold was set for the edge weight to filter the suspicious subgraphs. Finally, considering the community structure of the graph, the community discovery algorithm was used to generate the spammer groups. Compared with K-Means clustering algorithm ( KMeans), Density-Based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBscan) and hierarchical clustering algorithm on the large dataset Yelp, the accuracy of WGSA is higher. The characteristics and distinction of the detected spammer groups were also analyzed, which show that spammer groups with different activeness have different harm. The high-active group is more harmful and should be concerned more.
