How to spot malicious, false reviews
CONSIDER THE AUTHOR and THE SOURCE
If the comments are anonymous, they are probably lies
If the web site only lists public complaints, the comments are usually posted by malicious people and not to be trusted.
There are numerous web sites which purport to "expose" businesses. These sites permit anyone to post anything and they publish it. Holding them responsible is just not practical hence not possible.
They thrive because people love malicious gossip.
Anyone can post lies about anyone or any business on the Internet and there is nothing the target can do. Once posted, these lies live forever.
These poison pen posters are beyond the reach of the courts.
Use your judgment. When you see an attack on a web site, or a business, ask yourself why the poster published it.
If the complaint is anonymous, do not believe it.
If you are a angry or have a problem with CanLaw for some bad experience, issue or situation, we know it is important to you. Tell us about it so we can fix it
RESTAURANT REVIEWS?
Why would you pay any attention to some moron who thinks she can review a restaurant? Those people probably eat at fast food joints and wouldn't know good food or good service to save their life.
They are the same idiots who complaint about airline food because they do not know the difference between an airplane and a restaurant.
You cannot reason with these types. Don't even try.
MALICIOUS, INACCURATE INTERNET REVIEWS ARE EVERYWHERE
The local BBB gave CanLaw a bad rating because we refused to advertise with them.
Legitimate companies cannot respond to lies, false accusations and defamatory reviews without attracting more false negative publicity. No matter how good your customer service is the deadbeats will complain
CanLaw had a customer who bought a software package and used it. She then deleted it or disposed of if somehow.
A few months later she demanded we give her a free copy because she had deliberately deleted the original. When we refused she posted bad comments on social media. The customer is not always right. There is no shortage of digital shoplifters who steal and cheat. Our privacy policy prevents us from posting her name.
Companies cannot keep suing these malicious web sites, The costs are prohibitive. The owners have no assets. They are also often in a different country.
USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. LEGITIMATE COMPANIES DO NOT KNOWINGLY SCAM CUSTOMERS.
For every deranged customer, most companies have hundreds or thousands of happy satisfied customers.
Legitimate companies stay in business by providing valuable services or products.
Companies are plagued by false criticism, digital shoplifters, thieves, deadbeats and disgruntled customers who live to file complaints.
Online companies are plagued by digital shoplifters. People who order merchandise on-line and then file false complaints trying to get money back. When refused they resort to defamatory posting and these are common.
