I see people fake reviews all the time. I hope you outing these profiles make a difference!!!
How do I report a company making fake reviews including using their little children and girlfriend and friends and her family members making fake Google reviews after being left so many negative reviews by real people who used their business. There’s something definitely wrong with misleading potential customers by faking reviews when real customers have put the truth out there. And using your little boys under 11 yrs old to make reviews for you? How did these kids pay as a customer they aren’t customers they were told by their dad to do this!

Its not going to make a difference. People will always fake reviews.
It will make a difference to those who want to know. Yes, there will always be fake reviews, but, at least those of us who want to find out, have some avenues of research that we can refer to… Not a big fan of the BBB as there were great reviews for someone I hired. Then, after I fired them, I started doing a deep search and found that they simply changed their name giving them a “new start” to do the same ole – same ole, once they passed a certain marker in time with the BBB. Yes, changing names can cover the tracks of bad business. “What a world, what a world”… indeed.
I had that happen to me too! I put up a deposit for landscaping work. The work was 2/3 done (the remainder of the money was to be paid upon completion of the work). The work wasn’t complete, yet the owner of the company wanted the rest of the money and even more for work that we didn’t agree on AFTER he hadn’t shown up for three weeks! Of course I didn’t pay but I decided to check more than just the BBB (who gave good reviews! Grrr!) and found he had changed his company’s name two other times before plus he had bad reviews on his current name! On top of lousy work that we had to have redone, the guy didn’t pay for a couple vendors he used (topsoil and mulch) and they attempted to put liens on our house so we had to hire a lawyer!! I’ll never depend solely on the BBB again – that was my fault because I didn’t know until I tried to file a BBB complaint myself just how difficult and time consuming it was.
I’m so happy I found this website.
Sure thanks
@Jenna, bringing attention to this matter WILL make a difference. The majority of people do not understand the implications of fake reviews.
Yes, reviews will always be faked — but if the general public has a greater knowledge about the pandemic, they are more likely to be skeptical.
I am happy that WFLA had the story on your site. This is good to know because I have always read reviews that were good which made me purchase a product and at times that product was not worth the money. I am very skeptical about reviews now.
I am one of the names on the “fake reviews” list. I can assure you that MY review ARE my patients. I’m not sure from where this information comes and I certainly can’t comment on other businesses. While I didn’t confirm review for review that each and every one of them is a patient, as I scroll through the list I do know that at least most of them are REAL patients with REAL reviews. This site needs to better vet their information and confirm concerns before they slander legitimate businesses! They should be ashamed!!

Dr Edwards, First off let me tell you that your two practices were a tip from a friend of mine and somebody I trust. I also vetted all of the businesses that I list on here too. You and several businesses in the Tulsa area have been either getting reviews from the same company or have been actively exchanging reviews with each other. The pattern is beyond obvious to verify. While you may have real reviews, people have been leaving reviews for both of your practices and the same countless businesses over and over. There are the reviews by Mr. Kelly and Mr. Click that clearly show a pattern of reviewing the same businesses. I trust my friend and I have verified the information too.
As an Online Reputation Professional, I also agree that there is obvious review fraud with Dr. Edwards reviews. You might want to look at who you hire to do your marketing, and find out which of them hired someone off of Fivver to write fake reviews. Sometimes the business owner isn’t aware, most of the time it’s not the case.
What do you know mean Chad? What’s your company name and how were you flagged?

Who is next? William Jones? Craig Campbell? Jordan Pearce? Clint Butler? Lol
One of the businesses in here is where I sent my daughter to learn driving, Affordable Stop and Go Driving School. After leaving a review, I stumbled on this site. They have nearly 1500 reviews. You are saying these are all fake? Anybody can drop a review. They have a couple of 1 and 2 star reviews but practically all are 5 stars with hundreds of positive comments. You can’t fake that? Where’s the proof?
It’s not impossible to make hundreds of fake reviews. They’re not making them all in the same day. If a shady business ONLY made 3 fake reviews a week for a year that would be 144 fake 5 star reviews just that year. That’s not including all their friends and family they can get to write a bias review too.
Please let me know if you still operate? I’ve sent an e-mail with bunch of proofs for fake positive reviews.

I get flooded with countless emails asking for help or people reporting fake reviews. I am trying my best to answer everyone.
Wait, so in the 3+ years you’ve had this website, you have identified 11 profiles leaving fake reviews? lol.
Your goal is admirable, noble even. But your execution is so poor, it’s completely worthless. That, and as I look at those spam profiles that leave reviews, I see they are still active and leaving reviews. In other words, you have done nothing by having this site, nothing besides outing businesses like Dr. Edwards who thought he hired a reputable marketing company, but got caught in the crossfire.
Do better Mr. Dumpsterfire. Oh and your twitter posts are not funny in the least….

Did I strike a nerve? I have discovered more than 11 profiles. I just have a lot more fun wiping out fake spam listings. When I get a bunch of fake listings removed, they don’t come back. This hurts the spammer’s bottom line. They need the listings to remain live to generate leads. When Google removes the fakes, the spammers can’t contact Google to get the listings reinstated. They then need to create a new batch. They have to keep looking over their shoulder while my friends and I easily find and report the networks. Please by all means mock me, it doesn’t phase me. I won’t let you live rent-free in my head. I don’t know who you are nor do I even care. All I care about is that there are more fake listings to find, report, and get removed.
I’m very thankful to have ran into your website. I wanted to ask for your help in removing the below website as a illagitmate business. It is not an actual business. It’s just a male/female couple whom have falsify/frauding people to cheat money from people. I have been a victim of these people. They have been creating fake reviews for their own website and trying to luring in people to rob them money. Please help me to report this website and its so call “business” when it’s not even an establish business at all. More proof upon request.
They even had a contruction business that was reported to the law enforecement. The name was “Inter A Plus” false advertised as a licensed contractor but the people were not. It was a painful loss for me and now I look out for others as well as myself when I see things like this happen. Now, they are doing business with all kinds of services under this website: Removed
It’s very sad to know that people have been or will fall into their scamming trap. Please help! Thank you so much. Please let me know. 🙂
Your work is admirable Jason
